Beyond Choice

"It has been more than thirty years since the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, and the culture war over reproductive freedom shows no signs of resolution or abatement." "Alexander Sanger has taken an urgent, fresh look at the pro-choice position - and even the pro-life position - and finds them necessary, but insufficient. In Beyond Choice he offers the first major re-thinking of these positions in thirty years. He believes that the propagation of life is the supreme moral value that is served by reproductive freedom." "He also makes the provocative assertion that, in an era of new reproductive technologies, completely unfettered choice is not always morally defensible - and provides new guidelines for determining when government involvement might be legitimate."--Jacket.
