Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"Murti attempts to explore, without religion, one of the most contentious issues of our day: the question of abortion. For as much as the atomic bomb forever altered questions about war and peace, so has abortion forever altered the meaning of human life and our responsibility to it.

By creatively and passionately using the universal question of the rights of animals, Murti analyzes the rights of the unborn. The power of his persuasion is not based on one or more bodies of religious thought, but on sentient beings' natural tendency to protect one another."

- From the Forword by Carol Crossed, President, Democrats for Life of America



From the Publisher

Activist Vasu Murti, a card-carrying member of the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), presents a formidable case against abortion, using reasoning and arguments based upon liberal philosophy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Compelling Collection of Information and Ideas, August 18, 2006
By Elizabeth Woo (California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While Murti relies heavily on quoting from other authors, speakers, and historical figures, his organization of the material, and the sheer number of quotes that he has gathered, is both impressive and overwhelmingly compelling. I find myself appreciating that he did all of the work and research for me, compiling it into a quick read. His own assertions are honest and challenging to any reader: to pro-choice liberals, pro-life conservatives, pro-life activists who insist on using religion to essentially lose the debate, and to pro-life meat eaters like myself. Watch out--Murti makes some undeniable claims about the need to be consistent, and he has gotten me thinking! That is what any good book should do.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Pro-Life Book Like No Other!, February 7, 2006
By Paul E. Nowak (NJ, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a truly unique and stunning work. Unlike a majority of pro-life material, it does not rely on any religious common ground between author and reader.

Even more amazing is the fact that the author comes from a strong "left-wing" position, yet makes common sense arguments from that position in opposition of abortion. I would go so far as to say that Vasu's arguments are even stronger than those I have heard from pro-life Republicans - perhaps there is more reason for Democrats, Progressives, and the left to be anti-abortion than the right-wing conservative movement.

I would not only reccomend this book to liberals, but to conservatives who could learn a thing or two about how to address the abortion issue with people who do not ascribe to the same "religious right" world view.

In this vein, you might also want to consider Guerrilla Apologetics for Life Issues, as that book also uses non-religious arguments to address life issues (although it is not specifically a liberal book, as this one is).

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a liberal but..., March 25, 2009
By Bobby Bambino (Lebanon, NH United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I'm not a liberal, though I am not really a conservative either, so I can't quite speak to the question of how convincing this book would be to a liberal. It is a very short book, which can easily be read in one sitting. The book seemed to lack coherence, a unity to it. Much of it was spent giving quotes. There were some very good quotes, especially by some of the early feminists. The book goes through fetal development as well. Basically, the author's premise is that because liberals are typically concerned with the weak and those less fortunate, they should be against abortion. Of course, I agree. However, the last section of the book continues this idea to argue for animal rights as well. Many of the parallels the author draws between protecting the unborn and protecting animals are valid. But it begs the question as to WHAT an animal is and WHAT the unborn is. Is there a difference between a human and an animal? I would say 'yes' and hence was not convinced that animals deserve the same protection as the unborn, but that is neither here nor there.

I think that a liberal should give this book a read. It gives many quotes that I think a liberal would be surprised at (e.g. Planned Parenthood admitting that an abortion kills a baby back in the 1960s) and tries to argue it from their point of view.
