Trust women
Book Description
In a time when women's reproductive choices face increasing scrutiny, minister and ethicist Rebecca Todd Peters presents a thoughtful Christian perspective that challenges conventional religious discourse around abortion. Rather than viewing abortion as a moral failing, Peters reframes the conversation around trusting women as capable moral decision-makers who can navigate complex reproductive choices with wisdom and responsibility.
Drawing on both theological insight and ethical reasoning, Peters argues that the real issue is not abortion itself, but society's reluctance to recognize women as rational agents capable of making difficult moral decisions about their pregnancies, families, and futures. She illuminates how unplanned pregnancy represents a common experience in women's lives, yet those who choose abortion often face judgment rather than support.
This carefully constructed work shifts the focus from requiring women to justify their choices toward examining the broader social conditions that shape reproductive decisions. Peters advocates for public policy discussions that address the right questions, considering the complex realities that influence women's lives and the wellbeing of their children.
For readers seeking a compassionate, faith-based approach to one of today's most contentious issues, Peters offers a framework that honors both Christian values and women's moral agency. Her work provides essential perspective for anyone interested in the intersection of spirituality, ethics, and women's experiences in contemporary society.
