Abortion: The Clash of Absolutes by Laurence H Tribe. Published by W W Norton & Co Inc, New York, NY, 1990. 1st Edition1st Printing. Hardbound, Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine in Good DJ. 270 Pgs. ISBN 0393028453. LCCN 90-32205. Looking deeply into history and across cultures, and finding even within the most strident arguments of both pro-choice and pro-life advocates truths that each side can offer if only their opponents will let them, the author points us toward accommodation that respect the convincing visions of pro-choice and pro-life, and away from false compromises that respect neither. Showing how the apparent clash of rights asserted on behalf of both mothers and unborn children can yield to values shared by all, he offers guidelines for reaching a ''negotiated peace'' that will take into account the large issues at stake: the right to privacy, the relations between men and women, and the rift between the search for individual freedom and the yearning for community and tradition.
