The Quest for Human Dignity in the Ethics of Pregnancy Termination

"This critical review of the quest for human dignity in the ethical challenge of the termination of pregnancy and the evaluation of the Kenyan church's approach in this regard, is exceptionally informative. If the author's recommendations can be taken seriously, it could make a significant contribution in alleviating the appalling situation regarding abortion legislation and practices in Kenya. You can't afford not to read it!"

--Chris Jones, Christian Ethicist, Faculty of Theology, Stellenbosch University, South Africa



"Obengo is undoubtedly emerging as a significant voice on ethics at a time when the African evangelical contribution to the larger line of ethics is particularly muted. I find his present major contribution, The Quest for Human Dignity in the Ethics of Pregnancy Termination particularly bold, deep, and well researched. The conclusions are bold and the work itself a demonstration of solid and impeccable research."

--James Kombo, Deputy Vice Chancellor, Associate Professor of Theological Studies, Daystar University, Nairobi, Kenya



"The Quest for Human Dignity in the Ethics of Pregnancy Termination is timely as it helps both the Christian and ethicist in Africa approach abortion with sobriety and redress for the 'elephant in the room.' It provides a guideline for policy framework not only for abortion with dignity, but for the whole area of sexuality. Tom's insights are a great tool that the African Christian community should adopt."
