Bowers argues that, when correctly interpreted and applied, the Constitution and the theory of liberty on which it is based require government to reject the conventional prochoice and antiabortion perspectives as too extreme and incomplete. Instead, this book sets forth a position that government is constitutionally obligated to approach abortion policy from a middle perspective. Relying on a jurisprudence of original theory, ProChoice and AntiAbortion forcefully asserts that government is constitutionally constrained to formulate abortion policy that is at once prochoice and antiabortion. In so arguing, this book walks readers through this constitutionally mandated middle position by introducing them to the liberal teachings of John Locke that were so influential to the framers of the Constitution and by applying this political theory to the major issues of the abortion controversyincluding the individual liberty interest in the abortion decision, minors and abortions, the liberty interest of the fetalbeing, and the Freedom of Choice Act.
