Description
This book by Peter Kreeft takes such a unique approach to the abortion debate that people will enjoy reading. In it, Socrates has traveled in time to modern Athens to discuss the issue of abortion with a variety of people. He first talks to a doctor who performs abortions, then to a philosopher at a pro-choice convention, then to a psychologist who is also pro-choice. Socrates uses his logical technique to avoid emotional arguments and discuss rational objections to abortion. He makes some pretty good points while talking to experts in the abortion field. The discussions read like a play, with lots of bantering and fun dialogue. Lots of humor is added to keep the reader from growing tired of the debate, but the topic is still approached seriously and scrupulously. Some of the questions debated include "Is abortion a woman's right?" "When does human life begin?" and "Should we legislate morality?" A great book for anyone interested in logical and philosophical arguments against abortion. 156 pgs, pb. - Rachel
