Snag Your Copy Abortion And The Pro-Life Movement: An Inside View Drafted By John C. Willke Accessible From Digital Format
Wilke is a prolife hero, he did a great deal for the cause, Reading about how he spent his life traveling to so many countries teaching the prolife message, and learning the interesting way he put together a slide presentation that change so many hearts and minds, was very interesting and somewhat inspiring.
The downside of this book was that it was somewhat repetitious, and the timeline format became tedious after a while, Also, I got the sense that the book is very biased and left out a lot of information about
people and places, Furthermore, I didn't like the way Mrs, Wilke was represented in the book, it was written as if Dr, Willke and Mrs. Wilke were one person, with very little emphasis on her, This was the impression that I got, and Wilke was extremely extremely conservative, There is negative material in the book about gays and lesbians, which is always frustrating, He equates being prolife with "profamily" which basically means, when translated, "homophobic, antigay" it's sad to see the issues being tied together, I wonder if Wilke would have been willing to work with a gay prolifer on the staff of national right to life, I'm really not sure after reading this book, Maybe I'm being unfair, but I didn't know the man in life and all I have to go on is what he has written,
I don't mean to downplay the incredible contributions Wilke me to the movement, He was a prolife champion, a champion of the unborn, whatever else I may think of this book, it does memorialize him in a very positive way.
He deserves to be given respect and acknowledgment, and despite my reservations, I have to admit that, Probably, many prolifers would find this book interesting, This volume is an overview of abortion and the prolife movement from ancient times up through, The main focus begins inwhen the team of Dr, John amp Barbara Willke begin their involvement, and then moves chronologically through the prolife struggle with all its setbacks and victories, While the style can be a little dry amp clinical at times, there are also moments of gentle humor and personal interest,
I did know the Willkes personally for a short while before their deaths, and found them to be living witnesses of their faith in all that they did in the Prolife movement.
A previous reviewer refers to them as extremely, extremely conservative a more accurate representation would be authentically Catholic, Abortion and the ProLife Movement: An Inside View is an autobiographical history of one of the most controversial movements of our time, .
