There are many facts and opinions on abortion brought out in this book. The metamorphosis of a person was an exceptional addition. I know that I won't view abortion in the same light as before, and I applaud Dr Parker for his insight and his candor. I also thank him for dealing with medical and scientific facts, rather than emotional rhetoric that is used by too many people. And finally I was intrigued at how a Christian could not only justify but also explain the justification for abortion. The tying in to the civil rights movement was also a plus for me, in that I lived through that time in our country and remember many of the events Dr Parker alluded to. A book that makes you think is a good book. A book that makes you feel while thinking, is a great book. I imagine this review may be fairly confusing to someone who has not yet read the book. All I can say is, read it. You may come away with a different viewpoint.
