(64 Pages) Favorite Quotes:
“The real question today is not when human life begins, but, what is the value of human life?” “Anyone who doesn’t feel sure whether we are talking about a second human life should clearly give life the benefit of doubt. If you don’t know whether a body is alive or dead, you would never bury it.” |

Every book that we have read on the Pro-life message has referenced this book. This book has been a foundation for many apologists and speakers. This book is not lengthy but it is thorough.

(53 Pages) Favorite Quotes:
“When you think about it, no one has unrestricted freedom to choose. The freedom depends on what kind of choice one has in mind.” “We work feverishly to extract a coal miner hidden under a mountain of earth in the hope that his heart will still be beating when we get to him. Why not the infant human, heart beating, hidden within it’s mother’s body?” Greg Koukl, Precious Unborn Human Persons, p 46 “Are you and I valuable for what we are intrinsically or only valuable for what we can do functionally?” "Either you believe that each and every human being has an equal right to life or you don't." |
The Case for Life
|
Scott Klusendorf
Scott Klusendorf covers every question that comes at the Pro-Life voice. He challenges his readers to consider a direct approach. He gives a strong rebuke to the church, the nation, and every individual that idly stands by. He stresses the importance of speaking the truth in love. This is a long read but can serve as great resource to answer specific questions. Scott's tone can be perceived as frustrated, but really what he is communicating is urgency and passion. No book has challenged me more.

(124 Pages) Favorite Quotes:
It is imperative that pro-life conviction not override pro-life compassion because it is not so much about simply winning a debate as it is about changing hearts. Isn’t it interesting that when someone wants an abortion, they claim to not know when life begins, but when someone wants a baby, they know precisely when life begins? |

(224 Pages) Favorite Quotes:
“‘Let me see If I understand you,’ I said. ‘You are convinced that abortion kills an innocent child, yet you think the law should allow women to do that to their own babies. Did I get that right?’” “The logic of the modified pro-choice position reduces to, ‘I think it’s wrong to kill my own children, but I don’t think we should stop other people from killing theirs.” |
Realativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air
|
Francis J. Beckwith (Author), Gregory Koukl
Francis J. Beckwith and Gregory Koukl shed light on the disturbing worldview, Relativism. This book can be hard to read at times because it reveals what happens when culture fully embraces Relativism. The passages relating to the Abortion industry are especially disturbing. If you would like to better understand how to respond to the statement, "I am personally against Abortion but I am not going to say someone else shouldn't get one." This is the book for you!

“Saying “if you don’t like abortion, don’t have one” to those opposed to abortion is similar to telling abolitionists not to own slaves if they don’t like slavery.” |
