"The United Nations, Solidarity International, and some
human rights organizations have tried to define and rule out torture,
but have been frustrated at how difficult it is to even define the term.
Is abortion torture? Solidarity International surprisingly says “No.” But
what is even more bizarre, that “human rights” organization has
successfully brought a complaint before the United Nations against Nicaragua ,
claiming that this nation is engaging in torture against women on a
massive scale by prohibiting all abortion!
"What is torture? Should our
civil government ever engage in torture? How do we know? It is the
contention of this author that apart from the infallible revelation of God
in the Scriptures, no one can give a consistent answer. What are we to think
of the practices of spanking, waterboarding, and corporal punishment? This
booklet seeks to give a Biblically consistent answer to these and other
questions."
