Thou shalt not kill: The Christian case against abortion

Richard L. Ganz

Arlington House

"If a mother can kill her own children, then what can be next?" Mother Teresa once asked.
What indeed?
Once the value of human life has been depreciated, as in Roe v. Wade and the Baby Doe Case, no one is safe. Once "quality of life" is substituted for the absolute value of human life itself, we all are endangered. Already respected scientists are calling for a time period following birth (a week or so) to decide if newborns have "sufficient quality of life" to be allowed to live. Already committees of "medical professionals" would like to decide whether the "quality of life" of the elderly or anyone seriously ill is high enough to allow them to go on living.
In this moving book, the renowned pediatric surgeon and Surgeon General of the United States, C. Everett Koop, M.D., joins with one of the leading Christian thinkers of our day, Francis A. Schaeffer, to analyze the widespread implications and frightening loss of human rights brought on by today's practices of abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia. They see the present as a crucial turning point. Choices are being made that undermine human rights at their most basic level. Practices once labeled "unthinkable" are now considered acceptable. The destruction of human life, young and old, is being sanctioned on an ever-increasing scale by the medical profession, by the courts, by parents, and by silent citizens.
"But what can I do?" you ask. "I'm just one person." You can start by reading this book. Yes, it will shock you. And it will make you weep. But it will also help you see how you can actually make a difference.

To Live or Die?: Facing Decisions at the End of Life

SERVANT PUBLICATIONS*

The colorful evolution of my mental, sexual and career development was always reflected in the selection of my automobiles. HEIDI REDUX chronicles the passage of years from childhood to menopause in a unique and stunningly forthright, sometimes sad, sometimes humorous, but always brutally honest manner. A four-year old child "bags" a Marine while hunting for sailors with her mother in downtown Santa Ana, California. The Marine and her mother marry and buy a black, 1947 Plymouth which will take this soon-to-be expanded family on an odyssey including four states and multiple attempts to forge new beginnings on little dairy farms, some without electricity or running water. 
Early aspirations to become a nun and marry Jesus are abandoned as the family becomes increasingly dysfunctional and the emerging adolescent libido does battle with the requirement to remain a virgin and not end up as the mother eventually did---in a Tijuana jail for trying to rob a drunk between her sixth and seventh marriages. 
Scholarships to nursing school and falling in love and marrying a world-famous neuro-psychiatrist take this young woman to grand adventures in foreign lands and finally to the pinnacle of power in Washington D.C. as the spouse of the man who was a personal friend of the President and held one of the most powerful medical positions in the world as Assistant Secretary of Defense/Health Affairs. She becomes a power in her own right at three different Federal Agencies, known as the "piss queen of the heavens" as she implemented the forensic drug testing requirements for civilian aviation at FAA, her last position before mobilization as a Navy Nurse Corp Reservist during Desert Storm. 
Along the way she buys increasingly powerful and sophisticated automobiles reflecting her changing status. She also battles alcoholism and shares the shame and horror of women facing this disease, so often associated with promiscuous behavior.
