How Do We Talk About Abortion?

In recent years, the repeal of Roe vs. Wade in the United States and a number of high-profile cases in the UK have ignited intense public debates surrounding the sensitive issue of abortion. While the Pro-Life movement, often driven by religious convictions from Roman Catholic and Conservative Evangelical perspectives, has voiced its stance with unwavering clarity, Christian arguments in favour of abortion have been notably less pronounced, frequently emphasizing exceptional circumstances. Emma Percy steps into this essential conversation, offering a thought-provoking pastoral theology that takes a deeply empathetic approach to pregnancy and motherhood. In her compelling exploration, she delves into the complex motivations behind women's decisions to terminate pregnancies, treating this topic with the gravity it deserves. This book is a profound and timely contribution that navigates the intricate intersection of faith, ethics, and reproductive choice. Percy invites readers to reconsider preconceived notions and engage in a compassionate dialogue surrounding abortion and pregnancy loss from a Christian perspective.
