Publisher's Description

In the wide range of contemporary moral debtae the abortion question occupies a central place. To the majority of people today the termination of an unwanted pregnancy is regarded as a woman's unquestionable right. But can this right ever take precedence over the unborn child's right to life?

He exhorts us to open our mouth for the dumb (Proverbs 31.8).
