The Pill: Addressing the Scientific and Ethical Questions of the Abortifacient Issue
Note from Randy: The following article is from Feminists for Life (www.feministsforlife.org) I don’t agree with everything in this article (particularly the implicit male-bashing), but it demonstrates that it’s possible to argue against abortion even from a committed feminist perspective.
Most modern feminists have made easy access to abortion the very symbol of liberation for women. The literature of the National Organization for Women repeatedly refers to abortion as the most fundamental right of women—more important even than the right to vote and the right to free speech.

Randy Alcorn speaks about abortionist George Tiller's killing on Chris Fabry Live.
I think adoption is hugely connected with the pro-life movement. Being known as pro-lifers, we want to be completely consistent with our message. If we’re saying that these so-called “unwanted children” should be brought into the world, then of course we should be thinking of what we can do to care for those who need to be placed somewhere because their parents can’t care for them.
The controversy over the decision of judges to starve her to death is not going away anytime soon—and that’s a good thing.
