Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation (New edition/issue) Paperback – May 1, 2001

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 80 ratings

This is a new edition of the dynamic book first published in 1983; the only book to be published by a U.S. President while he held office.

With new photos and all new supporting materials, the original work by President Reagan shines with a timeless, poetic beauty. At a time when concerted efforts are being made to excise President Reagan's legacy from history, his prophetic view of the sanctity of human life, and his commitment to the "integrity of the human person" stands as a beacon of moral leadership.

Contributions from Wanda Franz, Ph.D., President of the National Right to Life Committee; Brian P. Johnston, California Commissioner on Aging; and the Honorable William Clark, Chief of Staff to then-Governor Reagan, National Security Advisor to the President, Secretary of the Interior, and the man whom Edmund Morris, official Reagan biographer, called, "the most important member of both Reagan administrations, and the man spiritually closest to the President."

Editorial Reviews

Review

President Reagan's record of public service reveals that not moral issue was of greater importance to him than the dignity and sanctity of human life. [He is] a champion of all that is right and true and just; a firm believer and practitioner of all that makes America great; an advocate of the good; a defender of the innocent, yound and old alike. --Hon. William P. Clark, who served as Chief of Staff to Governor Reagan, Justice of the California Supreme Court, Deputy Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, and Secretary of teh Interior

President Reagan understood that freedom and equality before the law are based on a more fundamental principle: the intrinsic, God-given dignity and value of each human person ... The pro-life movement will always be indebted to President Ronald Reagan for his word and deed. --Wanda Franz, PhD., President of the National Right to LIfe Committee

Ronald Reagan stands amidst a pantheon of great and often misunderstood statesmen who asserted the deceivingly simple premise that the 'right to life'; is the cornerstone of all sound government ... He understood what lies at the very heart of civilization; that it could be lost and that it must be defended. --Brian Johnston, Western Regional Director of National Right to Life and California Commisioner on Aging

The book was written by Ronald Reagan while he was in office. A short book, it's worth reading in the post-Roe society, after the Dobbs decision. Reagan made arguments in the 1980s that would likely never be argued by politicians today--even the most self-identified pro-lifers. Reagan made very compelling arguments, invoking Abe Lincoln's moral opposition to slavery.
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2013
Ronald Reagan's stark eloquence is unmatched. His willingness to unequivocally stand up for what he believes is morally right on a controversial issue - while still in his first term no less - is not only admirable, but unfortunately, rather unique in comparison to most current politicians.

While this book certainly offers an impassioned defense of the sanctity of human life, it does not appeal to emotion, slogans or slick rhetoric. It simply appeals to logic, common sense and morality. An excellent defense of the pro-life ethic.

In this book president Ronald Regan shows how important the unborn child is and how the true question is not whether or not that child is a living being but rather asks ,what is the value of that human life.

Former President Reagan shares that the implications of his signing the first abortion bill in the nation (California, supposedly only to save the life of the mother) were that the criteria would be manipulated and abused to begin the slippery slope leading to abortion on demand today. He regretted that he was an unsuspecting catalyst.

There many opinions out there on this subject. So many are simply just going along and getting without taking a stance on this subject. Mr. Reagan tells it like it is.

What can I say that our greatest 20th century President didn't. This book is so well written and should required reading for everyone. Abortion is a world-wide travesty that must be ended soon.

Clear and well argued. It brings back memories about the pro-life movement in the 80's. Much has changed, but Reagan's words still instruct and inspirel
