In 1970, three years before the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade, Doctors Robert and Mary Joyce wrote this powerful book about abortion. Laying out the theological and philosophical basis for human life, society and civil culture, the Joyces' message should have moved the United States away from legalizing abortion on demand.
Seen now, 51 years since its publication, this re-release of the original book seems more timely, with pending new Court rulings soon to be issued. It is wise for all reasonable persons to consider the arguments made by Robert and Mary, that remain as foundational to defining human life. "Human life with potential," they write, "not potential human life."
