If you have followed the abortion wars, you know about Bernard Nathanson, the abortionist who made headlines five years ago by publicly announcing that he was “deeply troubled” by having “presided over sixty thousand deaths.” This book (written “with” Mr. Ostling, a Time editor) is touted as “sure to arouse controversy and debate on this serious issue,” and it undoubtedly will. It will also tell you a great deal about Nathanson, whose name—on his own evidence alone—may be forever linked with what Malcolm Muggeridge calls our generation’s Humane Holocaust.
