RT Book T1 The Church and abortion: a Catholic dissent A1 O'Brien, Dennis 1931- LA English PP Lanham, Md u. a. PB Rowman & Littlefield Publishers YR 2010 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/624167658 AB This volume takes a critical look at abortion, a topic increasingly viewed as the central political issue for Catholics. The author, a practicing Catholic who is against abortion in principle, believes the Church is on the wrong course with this issue, with grievous results for the Church and American society more broadly. He gives a brief history of abortion legislation, then explores the issue from legal, moral, and Christian perspectives, presenting compelling reasons why Church leaders and Catholics should stop trying to overturn Roe v. Wade and reconsider the issue NO Includes bibliographical references and index CN HQ767.5.U5 SN 9781442205772 SN 9781442205796 K1 Abortion : Government policy : United States K1 Abortion : Religious aspects K1 Abortion : Moral and ethical aspects
