The pro-choice community would have us believe that it is possible to have a living, functioning, developing human body without also having a person residing inside it.

 

Roe v Wade is built on that very philosophy but without the benefit of any supporting evidence. Instead the "Roe" court casually asserts that the very lack of consensus regarding that question constitutes the moral basis for avoiding it altogether; thereby opening the door to the creation of a new Constitutional right out of what had previously been a criminal act. This program offers a challenge to that basic pro-choice assumption.   

 

New cases coming before the Supreme Court coupled with the recent Bush appointees make the potential for change with regard to abortion law in the United States very real. As it always is, abortion will be one of the hot topics in the coming Presidential races. 

 

Compelling Interest is a timely (long overdue) examination of how abortion went from an outlawed and controversial practice to a protected Constitutional right. Prior to Roe, in most cases except where the mother's life would otherwise be threatened, abortion was an illegal procedure. Why was this the case? How, why and when did anti-abortion laws come into existence? Who wrote them? And what was the rationale for overturning them?

 

Sarah Weddington argued that anti-abortion laws were created to protect the mother from unsafe abortion procedures in the 19th century. She insisted they had nothing to do with protecting the unborn child. The implication was that the lawmakers who created anti-abortion laws across the country in the 19th century were really as pro-choice as Sarah Weddington and if they were alive today, they would agree that their laws were out of date since abortion had become safer in the 20th century. Was she correct?

 

This unique 5 CD package answers these questions and many more. It includes extensive use of the original audio recordings of oral arguments presented in the Roe case by attorneys Sarah Weddington, Jay Floyd and Robert Flowers. Hear firsthand what was actually stated in one of the most infamous Supreme Court cases of all time by the attorneys themselves as well as the Supreme Court Justices. You'll be amazed at the questions as well as the answers.

 

The program also features extensive analysis and commentary gleaned from interviews with influential founders and leaders of the pro-life movement such as National Right to Life Committee co-founders, Dr. Carolyn Gerster and Dr. Mildred Jefferson. Also featuring well-known authors Randy Alcorn, Dr. William Brennan, and Dr. Gerard Magill, as well as perinatologist Dr. James Thorp and photographer Michael Clancy.

 

In addition to a careful examination of Roe, Compelling Interest also considers the impact legalized abortion has on society. Does legalized abortion affect how we think, how we view our children, violence and ourselves? And how does it affect women?

 

Compelling Interest is a valuable educational tool for both pro-life groups as well as the many individuals who remain undecided about abortion.
