“This book will equip readers to articulate both a philosophical and a biblical case for life and to answer intelligently and persuasively the main objections to the pro-life position. It is easy to follow and hard to put down.”

McAleer Professor of Bioethics, Director, Institute of Bioethics, Franciscan University of Steubenville“Scott Klusendorf’s accessible, winsomely written book presents a well-reasoned, comprehensive case for intrinsic human dignity and worth. Klusendorf not only equips the reader with incisive, insightful responses to pro-abortion arguments; he also presents a full defense of the biblical worldview.”

The Case for Life
Why Canada’s Euthanasia Crisis Is America’s Warning
Canada never voted for euthanasia. Its courts imposed Medical Aid in Dying (MAID), and what was sold as a last resort for the dying now reaches people with years left to live, with the mentally ill and disabled newborns next in line. Jojo Ruba of Cornerstone Institute explains how the same ideology is punishing pro-life and Christian speech across Canada, and why he calls his country the canary in the coal mine for America. You’ll hear why a desire to die does not create a right to die, and what to watch for as the same push reaches American states, on this episode of The Case for Life.
You Are Not Israel: Dr. Craig Ireland on Imperfect Pro-Life Laws
Abolitionists argue that a bill saving some babies teaches the wrong lesson, and they would let it die on the desk rather than sign it. Dr. Craig Ireland answers from the text itself: Isaiah 10 was addressed to Judah, not to you, and the people Scripture actually praises for saving lives were midwives in Egypt and a woman in Jericho who had no clean options at all. Find out why you are not legislating from Sinai, what Wilberforce and Lincoln understood about prudence that purists miss, and why the ground you can take today is worth taking, on this episode of The Case for Life.
Clean Hands, Dead Children: Dr. Craig Ireland on the Abolitionist Debate
A law on paper stops no abortion if no officer investigates, no prosecutor files, and no judge rules, which is why promising immediate abolition promises something no legislature can deliver. Australian pastor and theologian Dr. Craig Ireland, who holds a master’s in law, walks through what actually moves in a precedent-based legal system, why refusing partial protections trades real children for an ideal future, and why “our goal isn’t more babies saved” removes you from the conversation entirely. Watch, then decide which roadmap you’ll put your effort behind, on this episode of The Case for Life.
