Abstract
The above citation is based on that given in the usual location by the Library of Congress. However, it is apparent that the book is a compilation of three essays published in The Human Life Review, of which only the one at the beginning of the book is by Reagan. The others are by C. Everett Koop, presently serving as Surgeon General of the United States, and by Malcolm Muggeridge, British editor, lecturer, critic and broadcaster. All three essays speak out strongly against abortion used as a form of birth control. A central theme, in Reagan's words, is "As a nation, we must choose between the sanctity-of-life ethic and the quality-of-life ethic" (p. 25).
