The Party of Death
''The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the Courts, and the Disregard for Human Life'' is a book written by Ramesh Ponnuru. The hardcover edition, published by Regnery Publishing, was released on April 24, 2006 and consists of 320 pages.〔(Book Details - The Party of Death )〕 Controversially titled, the work is an exposition on such right to life issues as abortion and euthanasia, concentrating on the United States Democratic Party's shift from pro-life to pro-choice.

Jonah Goldberg, NRO Editor at Large, claims that "Ponnuru scrupulously sticks to nonreligious arguments, accessible to everyone. But that hasn’t stopped critics from charging that his motives are unacceptably 'religious,' while others have complained Ponnuru is too coldly rational. Again it seems Ponnuru’s real sin isn’t how he says things, but that he says them at all."〔(Abortion Rhymes with Death ) Goldberg, J. 2006-06-16〕
John Derbyshire writes: "RTL is made as presentable as possible in ''Party of Death'', with writing that is engaging and lucid.... RTL-ers are welcoming Party of Death very joyfully, though, and they are right to do so, as it is an exceptionally fine piece of polemical writing in support of their... cause.... Party of Death is obviously inspired by religious belief. The philosophical passages strictly follow the Golden Rule of religious apologetics, which is: The conclusion is known in advance, and the task of the intellectual is to erect supporting arguments."〔(A Frigid and Pitiless Dogma ) Derbyshire, J. June, 2006.〕
Possibly in response to these accusations of having an overtly religious viewpoint in approaching the issue, Ponnuru states: "I have made a show of reasoning, but my conclusions have all rather conveniently lined up with the teachings of my church.... For the record, my views on abortion have not changed since I was an agnostic.... It is true that I am a Catholic. It is also true that I believe that my church’s teaching on abortion is reasonable, sound, and correct. It is because I came to believe that Catholicism is true, after all, that I became a Catholic. If I didn’t believe Catholic teachings were true, I wouldn’t be a Catholic. So what?"〔(Unreason: John Derbyshire vs. pro-lifers ) Ponnuru, R. 2006-06-07〕
