Abortion and Social Responsibility - Depolarizing the Debate

Schrage argues that Roe v Wade's regulatory scheme of a six-month time span for abortion on demand polarized the public and obscured alternatives with potentially broader support. She explores the origins of that scheme, then defends an alternate one-with a time span shorter than 6 months for non-therapeutic abortions-that could win broad support needed to make legal abortion services available to all women.
