God is Pro-Choice

The title drew me in — provocative, intriguing, and timely. I picked up God Is Pro-Choice expecting a thoughtful exploration of theology and ethics, especially given that this is a second edition. I was curious how the first version may have evolved, and whether the book would invite readers to wrestle with the complexity behind that bold title. What I found instead was a deeply personal, unapologetically argumentative case for legal abortion — grounded in the author’s moral convictions, lived experience, and a sharp critique of religious and political hypocrisy. Jonathan Robinson doesn't ask whether God might be pro-choice — he tells us God is, and spends the rest of the book building a case to back that claim. There’s value in that kind of certainty, especially for readers who already agree with the premise and are looking for language to support their beliefs. But for readers drawn in by curiosity — or those who hoped to engage in a more open-ended inquiry — the book may feel more like a sermon than a conversation.
