Reviews

Advance praise: 'I cannot think of another scholarly book that addresses the abortion/slavery analogy in such a comprehensive manner. Professor Dyer skilfully ties the rhetorical use of the slavery analogy in the abortion debate to the substantive philosophical and legal questions on which the debates over slavery and abortion hinge. This analysis of the conceptual parallels between the pro-life and anti-slavery movements is fascinating. Sometimes, the best way to understand one's present situation is to look for analogous cases elsewhere - either in the past or in the present - about which there seems to be clarity.' Francis Beckwith, Baylor University
