A Theory of Stability: John Rawls, Fetal Homicide, and Substantive Due Process
Boston University Law Review
(2007)
Abstract
This article evaluates American fetal homicide laws in the light of John Rawls's political philosophy. In particular, it examines whether fetal homicide laws indicate a societal recognition of fetal personhood, and, if so, whether such recognition renders the right to abortion inconsistent with our principles of justice.
