The excellent MercatorNet website has an interview with Ramesh Ponnuru about his latest book, The Party of Death. (Which I’ve just about finished reading and will review in the next day or so)

MercatorNet: Why write this book now?

Ponnuru: There hasn’t been a pro-life book for a general audience in more than 20 years. A lot has happened since then. Stem cells have become a topic of debate, for example. American politics has become more polarised around abortion. End-of-life issues have become more prominent. Under the circumstances, I thought it was worth trying to explain why these issues are connected and how they have become more and more central to our politics.
