Slavery, Abortion, and the Politics of Constitutional Meaning by Justin Buckley

Description: Slavery, Abortion, and the Politics of Constitutional Meaning by Justin Buckley Dyer Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description One particularly contentious dispute in American constitutional politics concerns the relevance of American slavery to the ongoing abortion debates. Dyer takes the reader on a trip through two centuries of American history, law and political philosophy to show how slavery and abortion are intertwined in the United States. Publisher Description For the past forty years, prominent pro-life activists, judges and politicians have invoked the history and legacy of American slavery to elucidate aspects of contemporary abortion politics. As is often the case, many of these popular analogies have been imprecise, underdeveloped and historically simplistic. In Slavery, Abortion, and the Politics of Constitutional Meaning, Justin Buckley Dyer provides the first book-length scholarly treatment of the parallels between slavery and abortion in American constitutional development. In this fascinating and wide-ranging study, Dyer demonstrates that slavery and abortion really are historically, philosophically and legally intertwined in America. The nexus, however, is subtler and more nuanced than is often suggested, and the parallels involve deep principles of constitutionalism.
