Book excerpt: No committed Christian would support the proposition that a human being may be killed because he has yet to receive his future state of being (eternal life). Yet, the pro-Roe, Catholic politician supports the position that a human fetus may be killed because it cannot be certainly demonstrated that this fetus has received that state of being which makes him a human being. Suppose the fetus is not yet a human being, and is aborted. Is the pro-Roe, Catholic politician prepared to demonstrate that this fetus does not, hereby, lose his opportunity to receive eternal life? Is not this politician supporting the denial to another what he would not think of denying to himself: eternal life in Jesus Christ? Since Roe, fifty million human fetuses have been launched into eternity by pointy medical instruments. Roe and its progeny say that all of this killing is constitutionally permissible because, in keeping with the English common law, the human fetus does not qualify as a due process clause person. What if the Roe justices got this wrong—for lack of a 'working knowledge' of the status of the human fetus and abortion at the English common law? Philip Rafferty, through a working knowledge of abortion prosecution at the English common law, demonstrates that the Roe justices certainly got this wrong. So forget everything you think you know about the abortion controversy. It's time to knowWhat's Really Going On.The overruling of Roe v Wade is considered a dead issue. Rafferty has risen up this dead issue on Roe's own burial grounds. And he has done so with unparalleled, pointed legal scholarship. Ken R.
