TESTIMONIALS

“This work is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in engaging others in meaningful dialogue around this critical topic. It is a speakers manual, providing a level of professional research collated in a user-friendly way that is unavailable anywhere else. In preparing for presentations through the years, I’ve spent hours trying to find the information so beautifully organized and presented in this work. The sections on chemical abortion are particularly important in this post-Roe era where internet marketers are selling death that requires only an internet connection to purchase. And, despite working over 30 years as an OB/GYN, the work centered on the breast cancer/abortion link is better than anything I’ve seen. I can’t recommend this book strongly enough.” Dr. Christopher Stroud, OB/GYN CFCMC, Founder of Fertility and Midwifery, Care Center and Holy Family Birth Center

Pro-Life, Pro-Woman, Pro-Science addresses the overarching issues in the debate on abortion that divides our country today. As a clinical OBGYN who has been on both sides of this issue, practicing life affirming medicine for over 30 years, my hope is that it encourages readers to move those 18 inches beyond the rhetoric of intellectual division to the real source of connection and transformation that is found in the center of our chests, the human heart. Well done, Bonita Pratt!” – Dr. John Bruchalski, FACOG, Former Abortionist, Author and Founder of Tepeyac OBGYN

Pro-life, Pro-woman, Pro-science offers a grammar for understanding the legal, moral, and medical implications of abortion. Readers who are either unfamiliar with the pro-life position or who want to better present this position in dialogue with others will learn much from this work. I know that I did.” – Professor Timothy O’Malley, Author and Theologian

“Bonita Pratt excellently explains through this work what is needed today: for pro-life Americans to be equipped with the truth in a society that too easily embraces falsehood as fact. While the right to life is not a nuanced topic — the science that points to conception at fertilization is copious and clear — humans are complex beings with an instinct to think deeply about matters of morality. If you are seeking a way to think through your beliefs about human life and how to defend them, the right resource has reached your hands.” – Prudence de Bernardo, Former Anchor of EWTN Pro-life Weekly

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Bonita Pratt began her work in the pro-life movement in 2011. Her work has taken on many forms, from spending hours sorting through diaper bins, to speaking on EWTN during the March for Life coverage. Pratt spent two years as a pregnancy counselor, helping women feel supported and able to choose life for their babies. In 2021, she founded her organization, Pro-life Apologetics, through which she teaches a yearlong class for high schoolers and travels giving talks to young adults, equipping them with the best tactics for defending the pro-life movement. What brings her the most joy is her lifelong best friend and now husband, Tony, and their daughter, Zelie.

A Rational Case for Life: Why the Unborn Matter by Dr. Randal L. N. Mandock

A Rational Case for Life: Why the Unborn Matter by Dr. Randal L. N. Mandock

A Rational Case for Life: Why the Unborn Matter

by Randal L. N. Mandock

This book advocates for a change in narrative for the prolife cause to remove confusion about the scope of the challenges to the birth of babies in modern societies. For far too long those who would terminate unborn children have had total control of the narrative about nascent human life. This book is an attempt to radically revise that narrative to make it more favorable to the preservation of children in their mother’s womb.

SUPPORTIVE QUOTES

“Christian faith and ethics do not wish to stifle love but to make it healthy, strong and truly free: this is the exact meaning of the Ten Commandments, which are not a series of “noes” but a great “yes” to love and to life.” – Pope Benedict XVI, Address to the Participants, at the Ecclesial Convention of the Diocese of Rome (5 June 2006)

The Zygote of Christ & The Mystery of Man by Francis Etheredge and Elizabeth Rex

The Zygote of Christ & The Mystery of Man by Francis Etheredge and Elizabeth Rex

The Zygote of Christ & The Mystery of Man

by Francis Etheredge and Elizabeth Rex

A profound exploration of human ensoulment and personhood at the moment of conception, this bioethical and theological work reveals how the mystery of Christ’s incarnation as a one-cell zygote, from the first instant of His conception, can advance and illuminate the mystery of man. Drawing from Scripture, Tradition, Church documents, science, philosophy, and theology, The Zygote of Christ & The Mystery of Man defends human conception and embryonic life as an icon of the Mystery of God’s Creation and the Mystery of the Incarnation of Christ, emphasizing man’s (male and female) personal and relational identity with the Blessed Trinity as well as the mysterious co-participation of man (male and female) in God’s creative love at the conception of every human person.

Science of the Day versus Everlasting Science by D.G. Boland

Science of the Day versus Everlasting Science by D.G. Boland

Science of the Day versus Everlasting Science

by Dr. Donald G. Boland

Science of the Day versus Everlasting Science explores the profound difference between the timeless, Aristotelian understanding of science-rooted in certainty through causes-and the modern, ever-changing science driven by novelty and materialism. Contrasting classical intellectual tradition with today’s ephemeral scientific trends, D.G. Boland critiques the abandonment of metaphysical and moral foundations in favor of mechanistic empiricism. His work challenges readers to rediscover the enduring truths eclipsed by modernity’s fascination with the new and fleeting.
