I have promoted nonviolent action since 1976. Emmanuel, Solidarity includes some of my ideas from the early 1980s, in No Cheap Solutions.
Rebuilding Pro-life Nonviolence is a joint effort, by Elise Ketch and me together. I'm a baby boomer with a history; she is a millennial with a future. Writing with her was a lot of fun, although the topic is grim. It has two parts: an analysis of the current state (as of December 2024) of the pro-life movement in America and a sketch of how to rebuild, and a similar analysis of pro-life activism today with another outline of how to rebuild. We raise a list of critical issues that few other people are raising, and offer solutions.
Six PreReqs is a similar critique of pro-life activism written several years ago. Brief and pungent.
Pro-life Democrat is an answer to a fair question. I am a serious and experienced pro-lifer, completely and thoroughly dedicated to protecting children and their parents, and I am a Democrat. I voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and for Joe Biden in 2020 and 2024. This does raise fair questions; this does require some explanation. So I have provided it, respectfully.
The Roots of Racism and Abortion is about eugenics -- the history, the philosophy, the practice. In retrospect, it's interesting (to me) to note that the weakest chapter in it is about immigration. Restricting immigration in the 1920s was a major effort for the eugenics movement, a deeply racist effort that still plagues America. I have since filled in the gaps about immigration, and have written about it extensively.
