After Roe

RICHARD JOHN NEUHAUS

Justice Harry Blackmun has said that Roe v. Wade might fall this term. Maybe he just wanted to provoke pro-choice forces to intensify their efforts. But there is no doubt that the new debate has begun: What comes after Roe v Wade is gone? In The New Republic, Harvard law professor Mary Ann Glendon suggests we might have to learn from the way the Western Europeans deal with abortion. In a new book, Science and the Unborn, biologist Clifford Grobstein says that science might give us a basis for compromising on what is “truly human.” George Will pulls the pertinent considerations together in a recent column (Newsweek, Feb. 13).
