 Rating:  - As Shrill As EverAbortion is a serious matter, and deserves serious dialogue and debate. Unfortunately -- as with Ponnuru's other writings at, e.g., The Corner -- the book is a long-winded, shrill screed. Like many reviewers, I am troubled by the jurisprudence of Roe, and have serious qualms about on-demand abortion. That said, Ponnuru's methods and scholarship leave a great deal to be desired.

Then you have those who realize it and try to explain. Ramesh Ponnuru falls in the third camp, and we should be thankful for that. For the most part, the book is both crisp and clear. Some of the important points Ponnuru makes: 1. The pro-life argument can be made in a completely secular manner. The pro-life argument will work without faith in the Trinity, Krishna, Zeus, or ... Read More Rating: - Provocative and Blunt - Death is the Important Word"The Party of Death" will unsettle those who lean towards or favor abortion, embryonic stem research, and/or euthanasia. Author Ramash Ponnuru, a senior editor at the National Review, writing with razor-edged moral acuity, skillfully debunks the excesses and hypocrisy of those promoting these as morally acceptable by scrupulously sticking to non-religious arguments. Ponnuru begins his book by correcting several myths relating to the Supreme Court's Roe V. Wade decision - that it is a grand compromise ... Read More |
