5.0 out of 5 stars Review from the Publisher, March 7, 2001

By A Customer

In this now-famous book, probably the expert on Pro-Life activism shares his vast experience and practical know-how on preventing abortions, either directly or indirectly. He explains what works and what does not. Writing 2 and 3 page chapters and approaching the problem from scores of angles, he includes "Sidewalk Counseling," "TV & Radio Editorial Rebuttals," "Starting a Pregnancy Help Office," "Strategies for Closing Abortion Mills," "Getting Pro-Life Information into High Schools," and dozens of other ways - with, of course, prayer being the cornerstone of the whole work. The author also discusses "How to Stay Optimistic" and "Having Fun" in the struggle. Overall this is a tremendously positive and extremely valuable book to help other win Pro-Life victories as great as and even greater than Joe Scheidler himself has won! Practical and right to the point!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Disturbing and very impractical, July 23, 2002

By	Anna Martyniak (Waterloo, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This is a very disturbing book, in more ways than one. The author has spent a great deal of time, energy, and effort trying to come up with twisted ways of closing down abortion clinics and stopping abortion altogether, without acknowledging that the only way to decrease or stop abortions is to stop unwanted pregnancies. Closing an abortion clinic won't stop abortions. Finding 100% effective and accessible methods of birth control might, just as establishing totally acceptable social and financial supports for women who are unexpectedly pregnant might.
The author, and the pro-life people who support the kind of manipualtive and useless methods of 'stopping' abortion that are outlined in this book, ought to focus their energies on supporting the women who have carried their unwanted pregnancies to term. They, along with all other pro-lifers, should focus on providing homes for the thousands of children up for adoption, lingering in foster care. They will never stop abortion with these techniques. This book is very twisted and disturbing.
