- Summary:
- This collection of essays provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the abortion debate in the United States from the perspective of the Catholic tradition. The essays, presented originally at a conference at St. Louis University, examine the scientific, philosophical, theological, legal, and political dimensions of public policy on abortion. 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.
