“I am involved in every aspect of the pro-life movement on the national level, and it is very clear to me that one of the key educational needs is precisely to help people, starting within the movement, and reaching outside that movement, to understand the history of pro-life work–especially in the area of activism. This book is a unique literary contribution–revealing like no other book, what those opposed to abortion did for life.”  ~~Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life
