Beyond Roe

Why Abortion Should Be Legal--Even If the Fetus Is a Person

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Most arguments for or against abortion focus on one question: is the fetus a person? In this provocative and important book, David Boonin defends the claim that even if the fetus is a person with the same right to life you and I have, abortion should still be legal, and most current restrictions on abortion should be abolished.
