MEDIA ADVISORY, Aug. 25 /Standard Newswire/ -- Thomas Glessner is a constitutional attorney and the President/CEO of the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA), a public interest law firm that provides legal services to more than 1,100 pro-life pregnancy resource centers in all fifty states.
In this provocative book Glessner discusses the ongoing cultural battle between the traditional sanctity of life ethic -- the foundation of Western Civilization and American culture -- and the modern quality-of-life ethic, which is increasingly gaining control over the hearts and minds of the public.
Beginning in 1973 with the infamous Roe v.Wade decision American society has increasingly accepted the concept that humanity can be divorced from personhood and thereby some human beings can be manipulated and destroyed for the selfish gains of others because they are not considered "persons". This ethic has led to the current debate in the political and cultural arena over issues such as human cloning, embryonic stem cell research assisted suicide and euthanasia.
The book is set up as a tool to use in small group and class room settings and contains a series of discussion questions at the end of each chapter. It is hoped that churches will consider using this resource as a text for their Sunday School curriculum.
The book has been endorsed by Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council and Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK). Coburn states: "This is an important book. It provides a warning as to where the denial of personhood to the unborn is leading our culture."
