✦ Synopsis

For 40 years, since the landmark Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, the abortion debate has been highly charged and politicized. In Compelling Interest, author Roger Resler addresses some of the key questions: Is "pro-choice" a neutral position? Is a fetus a person? How did the Supreme Court come to be involved in the abortion debate? Was language manipulated to affect the outcome? What was the moral basis underlying the decision? Author Roger Resler takes a careful look at the real story behind the historic Roe v. Wade decision by drawing on original sources, including the transcripts for oral arguments. He adds interviews with experts such as Dr. Mildred Jefferson and Dr. Carolyn Gerster, National Right to Life cofounders; Randy Alcorn, prolific author and speaker; Dr. William Brennan, sociology professor at St. Louis University and pro-life author; Dr. Gerard Magill, professor of bioethics at St. Louis University; Dr. Jim Thorpe, a practicing perinatologist; and Michael Clancy, a photojournalist who took a series of photographs that changed his life. This carefully researched book speaks with a thought-provoking, balanced voice that will challenge your thinking on abortion no matter where you currently stand on the issue.
