Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2000
Abortion is one of those extremely controversial and complex issues that divide people. It's difficult to find reasonable discussion of the issue on any side. Back in the mid to late 1980's I involved myself heavily in discussions on the internet (in what is now the talk.abortion newsgroup) with all kinds of people on this topic. I debated back and forth with so many people for so long that, after a few years, I thought I had all the arguments (pro and con) memorized. I read a great deal on the subject. The issue was (and still is) important to me because it lies at the root of our society's values concerning human life and dignity. I think it's important to have a well informed and thought out position on issues like abortion. I think I'm drawn to some controverial issues like this because of the way they test the limits and consistency of a person's worldview. Trying to form as comprehensive a worldview as possible has been my avocation for a long time. I'm still a believer in Truth and that it ought to be pursued passionately. With the abortion issue, that pursuit still leaves me solidly on the 'pro-life' side (though I often disagree with many things that people who wear that label do and say). Rachel Weeping has always stood out among the books I have read as the best general argument against the current license for abortion on demand in our society.
