As Reviewed by: Rev. Kenneth P. Kothe April 27, 2004 The Roe v. Wade decision never would have been resulted in the legalization of abortion had A Treatise on Human Life been available to the U.S. Supreme Court. Dr. Harold Kletschka states the case with clarity and unimpeachable proof borne out of his career as a research scientist. Dr. Kletschka, recently deceased, began researching Common Law aspects of abortion 20 years ago. He assembled documents dating to as early as the Fifth Century A.D. that directly address the question of how English Common Law courts addressed abortion. Those edicts, issued by the Roman Catholic Church, Kletschka shows, were absolutely binding on the civil law.

Wade decision is utterly incompatible with this progression. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…..” The American Declaration of Independence, 1776 In his introduction to this well-documented book, A Treatise on Human Life by Dr. Harold Kletschka, Dave Racer states that “when the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision it wiped clean multiple centuries of legal precedent. From universal condemnation of abortion to the Court’s sanctioning of legal abortions, the Court had rendered stare decisis moot. Instead, by the whim of seven justices, the foolishness of interest-group politics was substituted for the wisdom of the ages. As tragic is the loss of millions of human lives through abortion, the Court’s substitution of man’s will for immutable law has wreaked an even more far-ranging devastation on freedom and liberty; it has rendered futile a predictable future.” [Read entire review] As Reviewed by: Paul J. Quin and Marlene Reid Common Law formed the basis for America’s Founding Fathers to establish a lawful society we know as the United States 227 years ago, and under common law falls the unalienable right to life for all, including the unborn from conception, thus argues Dr. Harold Kletschka in A Treatise On Human Life: An Unalienable Right. Intellectual dishonesty in its most egregious state is counter-attacked by Dr. Kletschka in this thought-provoking, scholarly work. This is not just another pro-life text arguing principally on the issues of morality and protection of life in the womb, this is a book that expounds upon the legal rights of all people and the ethics and moral principles that, up until recent decades, put the United States in the enviable position as a model society. In this well-documented text, Kletschka cites key quotes of renowned scientists, legal scholars, medical professors, and ethicists dating back to early western civilization.

You'd be pretty mad, right? Thankfully, it's only a hypothetical situation. Not according to Harold D. Kletschka, author of A Treatise on Human Life: An Unalienable Right. In his book, he outlines how the Supreme Court made the hypothetical a reality with their Roe v. Wade decision. And Kletschka gives us reason to think he's right. [Read entire review] |
