In question and answer format, it attempted to present all of the arguments for abortion and to answer them in a rational, medical, and scientific way. The first edition, in June 1. Its 1. 97. 5 revision increased its size to 2. In 2. 4 printings, Handbook On Abortion sold over one million copies and was translated into ten languages. Internationally, it became known as the "bible of the movement." But time moved on.
A flood of new scientific information, particularly the explosion of detailed information about the other patient (the tiny one) through recent technology and modern research, reshaped our answers. Historical, legislative, and legal developments had to be incorporated into our thinking.

A few earlier "facts" had been disproved, but many new facts have been confirmed by scientific studies. In 1. 98. 5 we saw the need for a totally new book. And so we started with blank paper and wrote afresh. Abortion: Questions & Answers brought new areas, new questions and answers, new developments. Except for a few classic papers, we used new and updated scientific articles to support our answers.
It ended up larger, far richer and more useful. It did fill the shoes of Handbook. With revisions and updates, it even inherited its "bible" status and added ten more languages. It is now 2. 6 years since we entered this struggle. We view this field of battle with mixed emotions — dismay that the slaughter continues, elation at the great progress the pro- life movement has made .
Love Them Both proclaims the new theme that our research has shown is the way to turn the tide as we move into the 2. Broad areas in society, major church bodies and political parties have joined the pro- life side, but, in opposition, we have not yet seen the full fury of the pro- abortion ideologies and of the pro- abortion industry. Accordingly, we offer this new educational tool, hoping it too will fill the need its two predecessors did. The issue today is still intensely personal, while being totally global. We echo Mother Teresa’s words at the 1.

Chapter 1 - The Situation. The situation in the United States, two and a half decades after abortion became legal throughout the nation, seems to be at an impasse. Canada, presented with abortion (now on demand) throughout that nation four years earlier, is not that much different. One thing that is completely obvious is that the issue will not go away.
The other obvious fact is that the two sides remain completely polarized. There seems to be no middle ground, no chance for compromise. When one strips the issue to its bare bones, the reason for the lack of middle ground is only too obvious. This either is or is not a living human from conception. This living human either continues to live or is killed. It is obvious that this being can’t be just a little human, or perhaps not human at one point and then human at another. He or she either is or is not.
Just as simply there is either life or death. There is no middle ground. Compromise? Pro- abortion advocates, who call themselves pro- choice, are unwilling to concede any ground at all. Would they allow passage of laws in either nation for- bidding abortion in the third trimester for sex selection, to pick an extreme position? No! they have fought any such attempt.
Would true blue pro- lifers, if they had their choice, allow abortion for pregnancy resultant from assault rape and incest, or for pregnancies when the developing baby is severely handicapped? No, they might be forced into this as a political compromise, and as a temporary measure.
But ethically speaking, no real pro- lifer would consent to this. It would seem then that the chance for compromise simply does not exist. On the other hand, it is obvious that people of goodwill must continue to try for a solution. Ultimate Pro- Abortion Goals: Many of the ultimate goals of those who favor abortion already exist. Abortion is legal in both of our nations until birth for social and economic reasons. Many areas use tax money to pay for elective abortions.
What pro- abortion forces have not achieved has been to mainstream this procedure into the day to day practice of medicine. They also have not achieved a status of respectability, as the word "abortionist" still is one of low esteem, or even condemnation. Also, abortion is still strongly condemned by substantial segments of the cultures of both U. S. and Canada. The Ultimate Pro- Life Goals: The ultimate pro- life goal is quite direct and very simple.
Pro- lifers want an amendment to the U. S. Constitution, to the Canadian Charter of Rights that will give equal protection under the law, to all living humans from the time their biologic life begins at conception until natural death.
Understanding that such a goal remains yet in the future, pro- life people have an intermediate goal. It is a Constitutional Amendment returning the right to make decisions about abortion to each individual state in the U.
S. and the equivalent in Canada to each individual province. This would take federal judges out of the mix completely, and make legislating on abortion a state’s issue. States and provinces could then allow abortion, forbid it, or anything in between.
Since the above intermediate goals also remain yet unattainable, pro- life forces today are seeking more immediate goals, particularly so in the United States. These include parental notification and consent for abortion for minor daughters; specific public health regulation of free- standing abortion facilities; women’s right to know, or informed consent laws; forbidding of certain types of abortions (such as brain suction or partial birth abortions); forbidding of abortions for certain reasons, such as sex selection and after a certain age of fetal development. Certain allied issues can also be legislated such as forbidding destructive live fetal experimentation. Watch Angry Birds Megavideo here.
Freedom of conscience can be guaranteed, both for individuals and for institutions. Laws to ban the use of tax monies for elective abortions have been the first line of attack for pro- lifers, but much yet can still be done. There are many avenues where federal monies have been given to pro- abortion organizations.
A major ex- ample is family planning which includes abortion as a method of family planning. Government support for institutions that have encouraged and referred for abortions could be terminated and such monies redirected to those that support women before, during, and after birth. Adoption: There are certain constructive areas that can be encouraged that should be non- controversial.
An obvious one is adoption. Certainly, the pro- life side has been warmly supportive of this. Tragically, the pro- abortion side, while giving lip service to adoption, nevertheless, has in practice strongly discouraged adoption to the point of not so subtly condemning it. The typical Planned Parenthood type of advice to an unmarried teenager contemplating adoption is to hold it up as a fate worst than death for her unfortunate child.
Sadly, adoption should be, but has not been common ground. Contraception: A major thrust of pro- abortion rhetoric has been the assumption that if only young people were given adequate education in how to use contraceptives, and then adequate access to them, the problem would be solved. A portion of the pro- life side has serious moral reservations about contraception per- se. Many other pro- lifers do not share this.
