Book Synopsis Beyond the Abortion Wars: A Way Forward for a New Generation by : Camosy
Download or read book Beyond the Abortion Wars: A Way Forward for a New Generation written by Camosy and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback A terribly timely take on the polarized abortion debate The abortion debate in the United States is confused. Ratings-driven media coverage highlights extreme views and creates the illusion that we are stuck in a hopeless stalemate. In this book (published in hardcover in March 2015) Charles Camosy argues that our polarized public discourse hides the fact that most Americans actually agree on the major issues at stake in abortion morality and law. Unpacking the complexity of the abortion issue, Camosy shows that placing oneself on either side of the typical polarizations -- pro-life vs. pro-choice, liberal vs. conservative, Democrat vs. Republican -- only serves to further confuse the debate and limits our ability to have fruitful dialogue. Camosy then proposes a new public policy that he believes is consistent with the beliefs of the broad majority of Americans and supported by the best ideas and arguments about abortion from both secular and religious sources.

Book Synopsis The Myth of Persecution by : Candida Moss
Download or read book The Myth of Persecution written by Candida Moss and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Myth of Persecution, Candida Moss, a leading expert on early Christianity, reveals how the early church exaggerated, invented, and forged stories of Christian martyrs and how the dangerous legacy of a martyrdom complex is employed today to silence dissent and galvanize a new generation of culture warriors. According to cherished church tradition and popular belief, before the Emperor Constantine made Christianity legal in the fourth century, early Christians were systematically persecuted by a brutal Roman Empire intent on their destruction. As the story goes, vast numbers of believers were thrown to the lions, tortured, or burned alive because they refused to renounce Christ. These saints, Christianity's inspirational heroes, are still venerated today. Moss, however, exposes that the "Age of Martyrs" is a fiction—there was no sustained 300-year-long effort by the Romans to persecute Christians. Instead, these stories were pious exaggerations; highly stylized rewritings of Jewish, Greek, and Roman noble death traditions; and even forgeries designed to marginalize heretics, inspire the faithful, and fund churches. The traditional story of persecution is still taught in Sunday school classes, celebrated in sermons, and employed by church leaders, politicians, and media pundits who insist that Christians were—and always will be—persecuted by a hostile, secular world. While violence against Christians does occur in select parts of the world today, the rhetoric of persecution is both misleading and rooted in an inaccurate history of the early church. Moss urges modern Christians to abandon the conspiratorial assumption that the world is out to get Christians and, rather, embrace the consolation, moral instruction, and spiritual guidance that these martyrdom stories provide.

Book Synopsis Stopping Abortions at Death's Door by : Roderick P. Murphy
Download or read book Stopping Abortions at Death's Door written by Roderick P. Murphy and published by . This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abortion is the bellwether in America's Culture Wars. Whether you take the pro-life side or the "pro-choice" position, you must read "Stopping Abortions at Death's Door." It is a well written, well thought out plan and a user's manual for setting up a Save-the-Baby defense on the perimeter of every abortionist's site in America. Currently abortion "clinics" are destroying approximately 3,500 unborn babies every day in America and there is no national pro-life defense program to offset that evil. The pro-life movement needs a national effort to directly defend pre-born babies. Current pro-life outfits provide indirect efforts like educational or political support to fight against abortion. According to author Roderick P. Murphy, what is needed is a lawful plan to save some of those innocent boys and girls killed every day. "Stopping Abortions at Death's Door" would bring pregnancy centers and frontline street counselors right next door to every American abortion facility in a non-violent manner. This already happens in some places in the U.S.A. but needs to be expanded to every abortion site, coast to coast. The author provides details as to how pro-lifers can positively and non-violently slow the wholesale slaughter of American babies. In Murphy's scenario, the sidewalk counselor would attempt to persuade the abortion-intent woman on her way to abort to instead come to a pregnancy resource center next door. Once there, the client would receive free; an abortion consultation, a pregnancy test, an ultrasound scan, counseling and free practical and often expensive help. These services according to the book, could cause the pregnant client to realize that she has real alternatives to abortion and that she would change her mind toward life for her little girl or boy. The author is critical of many current pro-life pregnancy resource centers and their associations for being too timid, too churchy and too often ineffective in the war to save babies. This 260 page book details how to setup a non-profit corporation, how to recruit volunteers, how to raise money, how to counsel young mothers, how to find the right office very near an abortionist and how to operate an aggressive volunteer organization that will save babies lives, help mothers and battle with the 800 abortion "clinics" in America. Murphy has spent over 30 years in all phases of the pro-life movement, the last 28 years running a pregnancy center in Worcester, Massachusetts. "Stopping Abortions at Death's Door" will provide pro-lifers a potential plan that could effectively save babies. The book will give pro-abortion people heartburn and an early warning of the fight that is coming their way. To facilitate these many new pro-life centers the author lists every abortion site by city and state with names and addresses. The book will cause consternation on one side and exaltation on the other.

Download or read book The Abortion written by Josephine Durand and published by Author House. This book was released on 2009-04-07 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of abortion is a deeply guarded secret. Abortion is something people rarely share with others. Abortion is guarded by silence and even shame. As you read through the lives of these dear women, please keep an open mind to the grief and sorrow that remained in the heart and life of those who went through such an act of abortion, and may God give you the courage to say no to abortion. An abortion is the removal or expulsion of the fetus or an embryo from the uterus before the twenty-eighth week of the pregnancy, resulting in its death. This can occur spontaneously as a “miscarriage” or be artificially induced by surgery or other means.
Book Synopsis Culture of Death by : Wesley J. Smith
Download or read book Culture of Death written by Wesley J. Smith and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When his teenage son Christopher, brain-damaged in an auto accident, developed a 105-degree fever following weeks of unconsciousness, John Campbell asked the attending physician for help. The doctor refused. Why bother? The boy’s life was effectively over. Campbell refused to accept this verdict. He demanded treatment and threatened legal action. The doctor finally relented. With treatment, Christopher’s temperature—which had eventually reached 107.6 degrees—subsided almost immediately. Soon afterward the boy regained consciousness and was learning to walk again. This story is one of many Wesley J. Smith recounts in his award-winning classic critique of the modern bioethics movement, Culture of Death. In this newly updated edition, Smith chronicles how the threats to the equality of human life have accelerated in recent years, from the proliferation of euthanasia and the Brittany Maynard assisted suicide firestorm, to the potential for “death panels” posed by Obamacare and the explosive Terri Schiavo controversy. Culture of Death reveals how more and more doctors have withdrawn from the Hippocratic Oath and how “bioethicists” influence policy by posing questions such as whether organs may be harvested from the terminally ill and disabled. This is a passionate yet coolly reasoned book about the current crisis in medical ethics by an author who has made “the new thanatology” his consuming interest.

Book Synopsis The Audacity of Inez Burns by : Stephen G. Bloom
Download or read book The Audacity of Inez Burns written by Stephen G. Bloom and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE VIVID, SCANDAL-FILLED STORY OF A SHREWD, RAGS-TO-RICHES MILLIONAIRESS AND THE RUTHLESS POLITICIAN WHO PURSUED HER, TOLD AGAINST THE EFFERVESCENT BACKDROP OF AMERICA’S GOLDEN CITY—SAN FRANCISCO. San Francisco, until the mid-1940s, was a city that lived by its own rules, fast and loose. Formed by the gold rush and destroyed by the 1906 earthquake, it served as a pleasure palace for the legions of men who sought their fortunes in the California foothills. For the women who followed, their only choice was to support, serve, or submit. Inez Burns was different. She put everyone to shame with her dazzling, calculated, stone-cold ambition. Born in the slums of San Francisco to a cigar-rolling alcoholic, Inez transformed herself into one of California’s richest women, becoming a notorious powerbroker, grand dame, and iconoclast. A stunning beauty with perfumed charm, she rose from manicurist to murderess to millionaire, seducing one man after another, bearing children out of wedlock, and bribing politicians and cops along the way to secure her place in the San Francisco firmament. Inez ruled with incandescent flair. She owned five hundred hats and a closet full of furs, had two small toes surgically removed to fit into stylish high heels, and had two ribs excised to accentuate her hourglass figure. Her presence was defined by couture dresses from Paris, red-carpet strutting at the San Francisco Opera, and a black Pierce-Arrow that delivered her everywhere. She threw outrageous parties on her sprawling, eight-hundred-acre horse ranch, a compound with servants, cooks, horse groomers, and trainers, where politicians, judges, attorneys, Hollywood moguls, and entertainers gamboled over silver fizzes. Inez was adored by the desperate women who sought her out—and loathed by the power-hungry men who plotted to destroy her. During a time when women risked their lives with predatory practitioners lurking in back alleys, Inez and her team of women, clad in crisp, white nurse’s uniforms, worked night and day in her elegantly appointed clinic, performing fifty thousand of the safest, most hygienic abortions available during a time when even the richest wives, Hollywood stars, and mistresses had few options when they found themselves with an unwanted pregnancy. Inez’s illegal business bestowed upon her power and influence—until a determined politician by the name of Edmund G. (Pat) Brown—the father of current California Governor Jerry Brown—used Inez to catapult his nascent career to national prominence. In The Audacity of Inez Burns, Stephen G. Bloom, the author of the bestselling Postville, reveals a jagged slice of lost American history. From Inez’s riveting tale of glamour and tragedy, he has created a brilliant, compulsively readable portrait of an unforgettable woman during a moment when America’s pendulum swung from compassion to criminality by punishing those who permitted women to control their own destinies.
