Abortion is a complex, multifaceted issue that must be considered from many perspectives to gain a true understanding. Spiritual issues are very important, but law, ethics, medical science, and old-fashioned common sense are also critical to the full view of the matter.
Loren W. Brown, J.D., and Taylor J. Brown, M.A., offer a systematic biblical and legal analysis of the status of abortion in America in their new book, which dives into everything from medical science to statistics to changing social paradigms. No matter the question, you'll find the answer inside:
- What is the legal basis for abortion as a "fundamental right"?
- What's the difference between "potential life" and "real life"?
- Should the unborn child be acknowledged as a "person" with constitutional rights?
- What does the Bible say with respect to abortion? Does God care?
- What is the significance of the biblical command to "be fruitful and multiply"?
- Are their lasting consequences to the abortion choice?
Unlike books that look at only one side of the debate, The Ostrich, the Eagle, and the Unborn Child is an exhaustive analysis of this sensitive issue.
The authors' desire is not to condemn but to search for and find truth-and share with others the reality that despite rhetoric to the contrary, abortion is the antithesis of love.
