The House of Atreus

by James F. Bohan

Using clear language and unconventional examples, this book argues that abortion is not merely a "medical" or "religious" issue, but one that goes to the very heart of our conception of human rights. It demonstrates that the unborn are living human beings, that all human beings have a right to life, and that denying the right to life of some weakens the right to life of all. Bohan supports his thesis by pointing to human rights treaties, the Declaration of Independence, and the words of such luminaries as Albert Schweitzer. Frederick Douglass, Pearl S. Buck, Elie Wiesel, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
