Dialogues on the Ethics of Abortion

What happens when two intelligent and highly informed fictional college students, one strongly pro choice and the other vigorously pro life, are asked to put together a presentation on abortion? Their conversations over five days-friendly but lively, charitable but clear-are captured in this book.
