The ongoing debate over abortion serves as a clear indication that the Supreme Court decision of 1973 did little to settle the question of abortion's legitimacy. If anything, in fact, the debate has grown, with more strident voices and, in some cases, more violent dimensions than ever before. On both sides, the debate has been dominated by passionate but not always rational arguments. It seems as thought there are no tame opinions about abortion in this country, that public policy is the product of slogans, sound bites, and placards, instead of principled argument. By presenting the balanced, rational argument for the Catholic position on this highly charged subject, Abortion and Public Policy makes a major contribution to public policy discourse in our pluralistic society.

Reviews for Abortion and Public Policy:: An Interdisciplinary Investigation Within the Catholic Tradition.

"""No subject is more troubling in today's culture than abortion. It involves profound medical, philosophical, legal, and political questions that cannot be put aside. Abortion and Public Policy is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for serious inquiry into this life and death issue, and I commend it to those seeking understanding and direction."""
