More DescriptionThe true story of a judge who appealed for the life of an unborn child and won. Juvenile Court Judge Randy Hekman was confronted with a 13 year girl who asked he approve an abortion for her. After denying her request, the young woman chose to have an ultrasound procedure. Seeing her little boy sucking his thumb in her womb she changed her mind and wrote Judge Hekman: "Dear Judge Hekman,I am writing you to tell you how happy I am that you made the decision that you did about me not having an abortion...I just want to thank youfor giving me the extra time to think about it. I am looking forward having my baby."In making his decision, Judge Hekman put his career on the line to save the baby's life. U.S. law, he thought, would require a judge to ignore the rights of the unborn child. This he could not do.As Judge Hekman put it in his bold decision; "there is no question inmy mind that if I am ordered to initiate procedures to kill innocent life forthe expediency of others, that is a criminal order which I cannot obey."In "Justice for the Unborn", Judge Hekman tells the true story of hisconflict with the Supreme Court over abortion and the harrowingpersonal consequences that followed. But the book is more. It exposesthe essential illegality of abortion-on-demand, lays open its murderousconsequences for American life, and passionately appeals for allAmericans to resist the holocaust of the unborn."The days of legalized abortion on demand in the United States arenumbered," he concludes. "With God's intervention and through ourcollective efforts, abortion will end as a legal practice in our country."
