Choice, Shmoice: Argue Like (or with) a Libertarian About Abortion

Description:

The scholarship on the ethics of abortion was stimulated by the legalization of abortion in the United States in 1973. The recent overturning of *Roe v Wade* will likely have the same effect. This book discusses the libertarian perspective on the subject, drawing attention to the implications of self-ownership, Lockean appropriation and abandonment, private property rights, and so on. Much ground is covered, from history to the Supreme Court decisions to natural law to ensoulment. *Choice* sheds new philosophical light on this thorny issue.
