About
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."
