Since the landmark Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, the abortion issue has sharply divided the nation-with strong and committed activists on both sides. In this book, eleven-term congressman Ron Paul takes an in-depth look at the abortion issue from a pro-life perspective. Congressman Ron Paul is well known for views that emphasize individual and economic liberty. To some, his stance against legal abortion has been considered a contradiction. In this book, Dr. Paul addresses that contradiction head-on, exploring the history of abortion in the United States and its medical aspects as an obstetrician and gynecologist in an interesting and comprehensive explanation of his philosophy.
