Argues that Rove v. Wade’s regulatory scheme of a six-month time span for abortion on
demand polarized public debate and obscured other alternatives which might have had
greater public support. Shrage proposes an alternative plan which allows for a shorter time
span than 6 months for non-therapeutic abortions.
Shrage teaches at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona.

Strives to strike a balance between "Pro-Choice" and "Pro-Life" positions, and claims that
some abortions are morally permissible while others are not. He argues that the goods of life
are relational, not absolute, and that under certain conditions and according to certain
principles (similar to just war argumentation) an abortion can be morally justified.
Steffen is associate professor of religious studies and University chaplain at Lehigh
University in Pennsylvania.
