Politically Correct Death: Answering the Arguments for Abortion Rights. - book reviews

National Review, Oct 10, 1994 by Brad Stetson

This aggressively argued and lucid book is a fiery depository of right data and fallacies exposed. Wrecking Potemkin village after village of fashionable abortion-rights propaganda - e.g., the alleged absence of fetal pain in abortion or the reasonableness of fetal viability as a measure of the moral quality of the abortion act - Mr.

Beckwith lays bare the selfishness and delusory nature of pro-choice morality. His smooth parsings of abortion-rights polemics are accompanied by a complete bibliography and seven appendices, including "Choice Quotes," a damning collection of confused musings by abortion apologists, featuring this from Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger: "The most merciful thing a large family can do for one of its infant members is to kill it."
