I just finished Ramesh Ponnuru’s excellent book, Party of Death . It should be required reading for all college courses dealing with abortion and other life issues. The book’s arguments were thorough, thoughtful, powerful, and compelling. The research was excellent, and Ponnuru’s argumentation was impeccable. The pro-abortion-rights crowd–or, as the author puts it, the party of death–has got to be hoping that this book doesn’t make a big splash, because its contents are damning for their cause.
