I thought that is book was really helpful in teaching people have to have a helpful conversation about abortion, but has the ability to teach pro-life people to express their views lacking compassion. In general, I think that it is a great book, and unlike many books dealing with the abortion debate, is done in a way that makes you want to continue to read it. (

This is Peter Kreeft at his finest. It is hard to explain how Kreeft took such a divisive issue and turned it into such an entertaining, engaging read. I think it when he has Socrates transcend time and step into an abortion clinic. Bravo! (
