Inhaltsangabe

In the name of privacy, vast new liberties have been claimed, bound up with the notion of sexual freedom. The 'right to an abortion' overturned the jurisprudence of the New Deal and has been detached from the logic of natural rights and stripped of moral substance.

Críticas:

'... Mr Arkes provides a bracing account of a grave moral catastrophe and his own efforts to repair it ... Mr Arkes' book ... succeeds brilliantly in tracing the effects of the decision to reject natural rights. He shines at exposing sloppy logic and sophistry.' Wall Street Journal

'... with a style that is accessible ... the book should be of interest to anyone concerned with the American labour movement'. Political Studies Review

'... he has written a fine scholarly book on the subject which is bound to take the debate ever further ... Arke's account and critique of the behaviour of the American Supreme Court since Roe, is quite brilliant'. The Salisbury Review

'With wit and energy and coruscating intelligence, Hadley Arkes has written the most persuasive argument I have yet read for a return to natural law and the first principles of the American founding.' James Bowman, Resident Scholar at the Ethics and Public Policy Center

'Hadley Arkes is one of the keenest observers of law and culture in America. I read - no, devour - his writings. Thank God for him.' Charles W. Colson, Prison Fellowship Ministries, Washington, DC
