Pricking the Conscience of Churches: From AIDS Activism to Ending World Hunger

By Susan Henking

…. What inspired you to write that book when you did? In 1995 I returned to India for the first time in 35 years and rediscovered an old college friend who had become a medical doctor and professor.

To a Western feminist, it sounds quite jarring, because it echoes the kind of language that the American anti-abortion movement uses.
