Rezensionen

Praise for Previous Editions:

"I spent years finding and learning what this book holds in one place. It is an excellent 'first stop,' and a necessary reference book for those who wish to engage fully the most vexing moral question of our day.""
Helen M. Alvaré, George Mason University School of Law

"This is one of the very best book-length defenses of the claim that abortion is morally impermissible."
David Boonin, University of Colorado Boulder (author of A Defense of Abortion)

"It is required reading for anyone seriously interested in the abortion issue"
Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
