On profound questions of birth, death, and human choice that are raised by abortion where opposing sides see no common ground how can the conflict be managed?

In this best-selling book, an eminent constitutional authority shows how the nation has struggled with these questions and then sets forth new approaches that reflect both sides' passionately held convictions. The paperback edition includes discussion of the latest court decisions and excerpts from the major cases, including the Supreme Court's landmark June 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

Reviews

"Wise and powerful…Intelligent people will not only learn something helpful from [this] book, they will also be able to read it…The book is more than lucid: it is vibrant with ethical passion."
*Nelson W. Aldrich Jr. - New England Monthly*

"A wide-ranging book about the controversy by a brilliant scholar and teacher of constitutional law…Tribe offers a dazzling array of arguments and approaches…Tribe's final approach to abortion, an informative discussion of new contraceptive and procreative technologies, holds out the hope of transcending the conflict rather than finding common ground among its current parties."
*Amy Gutmann, Princeton University, in New Republic*

"A marvelously thoughtful guide to all facets of the current abortion controversy…Makes constructive suggestions for bridging the gulf that separates the sides in the too-polarized abortion debate…Professor Tribe's thoughtful analysis will deepen your understanding both of your own position and that of others."
*Nadine Strossen, president, American Civil Liberties Union, and professor of law, New York Law School*

"Important…Tackles the conflicts of the abortion issue in a rational and humane manner…Tribe explains in a clear, conversational style the many changes in abortion law—and the pressures that continue to build behind the scenes on each side of the 'life vs. liberty' controversy."
*San Francisco Chronicle*

"Wise and powerful. . . . Intelligent people will not only learn something helpful from [this] book, they will also be able to read it. . . . The book is more than lucid: it is vibrant with ethical passion." -- Nelson W. Aldrich, Jr. - New England Monthly
