Abortion

This book examines the historical views of the founding fathers on abortion and their influence on early 'concealment' laws. It argues that the common law abortion rule was misinterpreted in Roe v. Wade, suggesting it was solely an evidentiary rule. The author contends that the Ninth Amendment was intended to incorporate the founders' natural law views, which, as expressed by Locke and Montesquieu, mandated protection for the unborn from conception.
