“This book will equip readers to articulate both a philosophical and a biblical case for life and to answer intelligently and persuasively the main objections to the pro-life position. It is easy to follow and hard to put down.”

McAleer Professor of Bioethics, Director, Institute of Bioethics, Franciscan University of Steubenville“Scott Klusendorf’s accessible, winsomely written book presents a well-reasoned, comprehensive case for intrinsic human dignity and worth. Klusendorf not only equips the reader with incisive, insightful responses to pro-abortion arguments; he also presents a full defense of the biblical worldview.”

The Case for Life
Must Pro-Lifers Always Resist Death? When a Newborn Is Dying
A newborn girl is failing organ by organ, and her Christian, pro-life parents are asking whether they may stop treatments that are not working. Some pro-lifers say the pro-life view means always resisting death, but Scott Klusendorf explains why letting a dying child go is not killing her, why her case is nothing like Terri Schiavo’s, and why Lincoln and Wilberforce won with prudent timing, not all-or-nothing bills. If someone you love is dying, you’ll learn what it means to always care and never harm, on this episode of The Case for Life.
The One Question That Ended the Abolitionist Debate
Self-styled abolitionists say any law short of an immediate ban that jails women is disobedience to God, and they have been saying it loudly to pro-life students. JoJo Ruba debated Bradley Pierce, the lawyer behind many of their bills, at the Museum of the Bible and asked him whether he would end abortion in twenty years the pro-life way or in a hundred years his way. Hear what he chose, and learn how to answer the all-or-nothing argument yourself, on this episode of The Case for Life.
Three Reasons Equal Protection Advocates Lost Me
Equal protection advocates say incremental pro-life laws compromise with evil, but Micah Kunkle isn’t convinced. Fresh from his Jubilee debates, Micah joins Scott Klusendorf to explain why their biblical case, their reading of history, and their sense of the cultural moment all fall short. Find out why saving every child you can today is how you win protection for them all on this episode of The Case for Life.
