Summary

"This book presents a strikingly original voice within legal scholarship and is sure to spark vigorous debate. Its originality lies in its ready concession to the pro-life side that abortion is a life-or-death issue, followed by its argument that this concession does not end the argument about what the proper role of abortion should be. Their use of theological reflection to explore the notion that abortion is sometimes justified despite the fact that 'it stops a human heart' is subtle and courageous. It seeks to relocate the current abortion discussion onto a terrain that has potential for a less divisive resolution of the issue."--Joan Williams, American University Law School
