Beyond Roe: Why Abortion Should be Legal--Even if the Fetus is a Person
by David Boonin
David Boonin confronts one of the most difficult questions in the abortion debate: whether abortion should be legal even if the fetus is a person. By taking that premise seriously, he develops a philosophical argument about rights, moral responsibility, and the proper limits of legal authority.
About This Book
David Boonin examines the case for legal abortion through a demanding philosophical question: what if the fetus is a person?
Rather than depending on the denial of fetal personhood, the book explores why abortion could still be legally permissible under that assumption.
Its focus is the relationship between moral status, individual rights, and the authority of law.
This is a work of ethical and legal argument for readers interested in abortion, personhood, and political philosophy.
