The Scalpel and the Soul Our Radical Transformation As Husband and Wife Abortion Doctors

"In The Scalpel and the Soul, join two young students from widely differing backgrounds through their Southern California medical residency romance and into their deep love for the practice of medicine and for one another. In 1979-80, standing on the threshold of marriage and a bright future for their own practice together, they began providing abortions as a way to recover from substantial medical education debt. Why? What drew them in? What propelled them forward? Enter their world. Watch as they set up practice in Texas--a whole new world for both of them. In fact, they were the only Black doctors in their entire community. But once there, they found what they least expected: a dramatic spiritual reawakening that turned their lives upside down. Not only did they find themselves changed forever, but they were given a firm and passionate conviction that they should never again perform or refer for abortion. Now what? How would they respond when Planned Parenthood moved into town? When pro-abortion and pro-life advocates collided? How did these two unlikely pro-life champions find themselves on the frontlines as a remarkable pro-life movement was born and spread across the globe? The Scalpel and the Soul not only tells of transformation--reading it, hearing it, and sharing it brings transformation."--Amazon.
