Essential reading for everybody in the world

Utterly brilliant. Absolutely destroys every prochoice argument I have ever heard, including the hard ones, like rape and handicapped children. I notice some prochoice reviewers tried to deflect attention away from the main argument by saying the author is male, but obviously haven't read the book properly, since that minor point is also discussed. (just one point he makes here is that more women than men oppose abortion - and he makes 6 other points on this argument alone) I don't see how it is possible to read this book with an honest open mind and be prochoice - Randy Alcorn has done his homework and there is nowhere for prochoicers to run. Buy it - and be appalled at how an ongoing crime to humanity worse than the Holocaust and linked to the exploitation of women, continues to be protected by legislation. This book is destined to become a classic - the ultimate textbook for any clear thinker on this issue. Footnote - Congratulations to Alcorn for the way the book is setup. Any aspiring writers on a controversial issue should copy the format of this book, because it is so helpful to finding answers to questions quickly - most people don't have time to read a book this length in one sitting.

Excellent prolife reference book

Prolife Answers to Prochoice Arguments answers every prochoice argument for abortion I've ever heard -- including "Men can't get pregnant, so they have no right to take a position on abortion." (See answers 34d and e.) The answers to each of the 39 common prochoice arguments are thoroughly researched and presented logically and scientifically, with up-to-date sources referenced. All prolife advocates should consider purchasing this great resource, both to reinforce their position on the issue and to use in arguments and debates with prochoice advocates. I'm certain that prochoice advocates will not like this book, because it tears away at every argument they have, but I hope some will read it with an open mind and reconsider their position on abortion.

Read this!

If you're at all interested in the debate between the culture of life and the culture of death, this is the book for you. It systematically outlines all the arguments that anti-life advocates raise in their rationalization for the murder of over one million children every year. It offers not just one pat answer to each objection, but several well thought, logical answers to each objection. Even if you consider yourself "pro-choice," you will at least benefit by understanding what the pro-life position really is, instead of swallowing caricatures of that position as painted by the larger social culture in general, and sadly informed individuals in particular, like two of the reviewers below.Read PRO LIFE ANSWERS TO PRO CHOICE ARGUMENTS. It's a badly needed explication of the pro-life stance on abortion in this fallen world.

Truth in the midst of a dark saga of human history

The author uses sound reasoning to expose both the illogic in the pro-choice arguments and the lies propogated by the abortion industry. He presents the case so clearly that I now see abortion as synonymous with murder. He includes the testimony of a former abortionist who realized the full weight of his actions when he saw an ultrasound of the procedure. Reading this book has spurred me into activism for human rights. The book also lists help sources (and hope in Christ) for women/men traumatized by a past abortion.

A terrific tool for reasoning sensibly and logically.

This book is laid out in proposition/response format. When faced with an argument like, "The woman has the rights over her own body," you can turn to that very assertion, then read reasons why that statement misses the point, where the mis-understanding lies, etc. The book can equally well be used as a reference or for reading. If you are clear on why abortion is wrong, this book will help you to understand the issue with more clarity. If you support the availability of abortion after reading this book, then you will give up your ability to say that your stance is reasonable. I highly recommend this book.
