Synopsis

*****Audiobook format of The New Fight for Life - ECPA's 2024 Faith and Culture Award Nominee*****

The battle over the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade may be over, but now a bigger fight lies ahead.

For over half a century, pro-life advocates have fought to protect the sanctity of human life. Now that the decision the pro-life community has been waiting and praying for has finally become a reality, a question remains: Now what? How do we continue to stand for life for everyone who bears the image of God―from womb to tomb? And if abortion disproportionately impacts the poor and the marginalized, specifically Black Americans, why should we seize this new opportunity to make right what has gone terribly wrong?

Benjamin Watson, author of Under Our Skin and a former NFL player who now serves as VP of strategic relationships with Human Coalition, a pro-life organization based in Dallas, wants to galvanize the church and the pro-life movement in this new era. In The New Fight for Life, Watson
  leads us into a new understanding of pro-life advocacy, shows how we can move past political debate and culture wars, and envisions a new path forward that promotes life by committing to human flourishing and holistic justice.
We can create a culture where abortion is both unthinkable and unnecessary. How? By relentlessly pursuing a more just world―for everyone.

A good book about the history of abortion as well as practical steps to take in current society to make it where abortion is no longer viewed as an option for women facing homelessness, poverty, etc. This book focuses on a Christian perspective and how churches can come behind women to support them.......more

I got to know Ben (the author) briefly at a camp he brought his family to that I worked in college. I gained a lot of respect for him as a father and husband, and have since gained more seeing him use his platform so boldly. Ben Watson is, and, I hope, will continue to be a clear, compassionate, and......more

It was great to get to hear Ben speak at an event so I read this book in preparation. I was not a fan of the book. Ben was a fantastic speaker and a 5-star pro life advocate for whom I have great respect. However this book was advocating for a set of political progressive political policies as a solu......more
