Zusammenfassung:This book traces the roots of the contemporary abortion debate in the tradition of existential philosophy of the Sartrian type by investigating the work of four feminist writers on abortion - each with a specific focus: Simone de Beauvoir, Mary Daly, Carol Gilligan, and Beverly Wildung Harrison. Beauvoir provides a feminist epistemology crucial to the abortion idea; Daly adds a dualist metaphysics to Beauvoir's theory of feminist knowledge; Gilligan provides the support of developmental psychology to the abortion project; and Harrison furnishes a theological undergirding to support the abortion edifice. Finally, No Higher Court attempts to envisage a pro-life feminism that is able to provide a "new world for women without abortion as its linchpin and bedrock."
