The Abortion Papers: Inside the Abortion Mentality.
Nathanson, Bernard N., M.D.

Abortion continues to be perhaps the most incendiary domestic issue for Americans, involving as it does the complex relationship between government, society, and morality. It is, as well, a compelling and still unresolved civil rights issue. As the author of the best selling "Aborting America" and long-time director of the largest abortion clinic in the western world, Dr. Nathanson has played a major role on both sides of this perplexing, inflammatory dispute.

Among the issues discussed in the book (published in 1983) are the persistent failure of the media to report the abortion struggle fairly and accurately and the ruthless manner in which the pro-abortionists employed and exploited latent anti-Catholicism in the United States. Dr. Nathanson offers suggestions to improve the performance of the media in the reporting of the abortion issue. In addition, he examines the new science of fetology (the study of the human unborn), and its role in establishing unequivocally the unborn as  human being - a fully protectable person from the moment of conception. He views the latest data in fetology and marshals the data for use by pro-life men and women in the ongoing national debate. Finally, he has conducted a lengthy interview with another obstetrician, a woman who also worked for years in an abortion clinic but who has now recanted and is strongly pro-life.

Anyone interested in abortion and its legal and moral implications will be intrigued with the wealth of information compiled in "The Abortion Papers." It should be read by every adult concerned with this important topic.
