Internationally renowned John Willke, MD, and his wife, Barbara Willke, RN, recently released their third book in a series on the controversial subject of abortion.
Abortion Questions & Answers: Why Not Love Them Both updates the previous books and brings new insights to the subject of abortion, while also presenting discussions ranging from the law that made it legal, to its impact on the mothers who abort their babies and the societal changes that have caused them to believe it is their right to do so.
As in previous books in the series, the bulk of Why Not Love Them Both is presented in an easy, concise question-and-answer format. Every chapter is valuable, but chapter three, titled, “How to Teach the Pro-Life Story,” is especially helpful.
One particularly interesting bit of information speaks to the fact that nearly 50% of the general public has not formed a firm conviction on the abortion issue. Almost four-fifths of this “conflicted” group believes that a pregnant woman is carrying a baby (not “tissue”), that abortion kills the baby, and that it is wrong.
But two-thirds of this same group believe a woman has the right to choose whether or not she wants the baby. This societal shift has resulted in the controversy being about the mother's “rights,” rather than a question of religious beliefs, or “when life begins,” or politics.
Unfortunately, say the Willkes, the pro-life movement, in general, in its zeal to save the baby, has come to be perceived as not having compassion for the woman. Therein lies the main premise for the book: “Why not love them both?” The Willkes offer workable solutions, and encourage pro-lifers to work toward that end.
