This book looks at a family of views involving the pro-life view of
abortion and Christianity. These issues are important because major
religious branches (for example, Catholicism and some large
branches of Evangelicalism) and leading politicians assert, or are
committed to, the following: (a) it is permissible to prevent some
people from going to hell, (b) abortion prevents some people from
going to hell, and (c) abortion is wrong. They also assert, or are
committed to, the following: (d) it is permissible to use defensive
violence to prevent people from killing innocents, (e) doctors who
perform abortions kill innocents, and (f) it is wrong to use
defensive violence against doctors who perform abortions. Stephen
Kershnar argues that these and other principles are inconsistent.
Along the way, he explores the ways in which theories of hell,
right forfeiture, and good consequences relate to each other and
the above inconsistencies.
