Books, Arts & Manners: Sudden Impact

Closed: 99 Ways to Stop Abortion, by Joseph M. Scheidler (Regnery Gateway/ Crossway/Ignatius, 350 pp., $9.95, paper)

When Dr. John Kelly, of Oak Park, Illinois, discovered that his county taxes were being used to pay for abortion, he withheld the amount he calculated was being used for that purpose. If came to less than $2. After three years his tax debt had mounted to $5.75, and the county decided it had borne enough: It threatened to auction off Dr. Kelly’s home to get the money. Dr. Kelly saved it the trouble. He sold his house and moved, with his wife and most of their 14 children, to Ireland.
