Abortion and Social Responsibility: Depolarizing the Debate

by Laurie Shrage

Overview

Shrage 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.
