THE JESUS LAWYER is an award winning screenplay that explores two aspects (abortion and the death penalty) of a consistent life ethic. While the story's plot may suggest that the unborn is less important than those on death row, that is not the case in this screenplay. THE JESUS LAWYER just takes a controversial approach to drive across the point that all life is sacred.
