Book Description

Publication Date: Dec 15 2002 | Series: Studies in Feminist Philosophy

Shrage argues that Roe v Wade's regulatory scheme of a six-month time span for abortion on demand polarized the public and obscured alternatives with potentially broader support. She explores the origins of that scheme, then defends an alternate one--with a time span shorter than 6 months for non-therapeutic abortions--that could win broad support needed to make legal abortion services available to all women.

First Sentence
Critics of Roe v. Wade have attributed the controversies surrounding it both to the Court's poorly justified expansion of the scope of the right to privacy and to the Court's interference with the democratic legislative process. Read the first page
