About the Author
Bernard Nathanson was a pioneering figure in the medical and ethical debates surrounding abortion in the United States, initially serving as a leading advocate and practitioner before undergoing a profound personal transformation. As co-founder of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws (NARAL), he performed thousands of procedures and championed reproductive rights in the 1960s and 1970s. However, after extensive reflection, scientific study, and witnessing advancements in fetal imaging technology, Nathanson renounced his earlier positions, becoming a vocal pro-life activist. In his seminal memoir, The Hand of God: A Journey from Death to Life by The Abortion Doctor Who Changed His Mind, he chronicles this dramatic shift from death to life, offering a candid exploration of conscience, morality, and redemption that continues to influence contemporary discussions on bioethics and human rights.
