Natural Rights and the Right to Choose

The book explores how the concept of a 'right to abortion' has influenced American political thought, diverging from the Founders' principles of natural rights. Hadley Arkes critically examines the implications of this shift, arguing that it alters the foundational understanding of rights in the political landscape. Through this analysis, the author engages with broader themes of morality, law, and the philosophical underpinnings of American democracy.
