‘With wit and energy and coruscating intelligence, Hadley Arkes has written the most persuasive argument I have yet read for a return to natural law and the first principles of the American founding.’James Bowman, Resident Scholar at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, '… with a style that is accessible … the book should be of interest to anyone concerned with the American labour movement'. Political Studies Review, "Natural Rights and the Right to Choose is the story of how relentless elaboration of a spurious right has jeopardized the foundations of all rights. Hadley Arkes makes the case, as only he can, with rigor, grace, and passion. This is a philosophical page-turner where the shocker is not who-done-it but what was done in the name of law." Mary Ann Glendon, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard Law School, "This book is shattering, for Arkes shows how our generation, while talking itself into a 'right to choose' has talked itself out of the logic of 'natural rights.' If he is correct, our so-called 'rights' now have no meaning. Even the 'right to choose' has no moral defense. Warning: This book may change your life." -Michael Novak, George Frederick Jewett Chair, The American Enterprise Institute, '… he has written a fine scholarly book on the subject which is bound to take the debate ever further … Arke's account and critique of the behaviour of the American Supreme Court since Roe, is quite brilliant'. The Salisbury Review, 'Hadley Arkes is one of the keenest observers of law and culture in America. I read - no, devour - his writings. Thank God for him.' Charles W. Colson, Prison Fellowship Ministries, Washington, DC, '... Mr Arkes provides a bracing account of a grave moral catastrophe and his own efforts to repair it ... Mr Arkes' book ... succeeds brilliantly in tracing the effects of the decision to reject natural rights. He shines at exposing sloppy logic and sophistry.' Wall Street Journal, "Arkes's book contains a fascinating examination of the legislative effort, over the past dozen years, to respond to the appalling decision in Roe and Doe."

Michael Novak, George Frederick Jewett Chair, The American Enterprise Institute, "While the highly charged issue of abortion helps focus Arkes's position, his ideas have far-ranging consequences for human rights.

Arkes is a modern Socrates, drawing half-buried truths and recognitions from his interlocutors, his readers. He shows how our obsession with rights to the exclusion of their corresponding duties has extended the frontiers of degradation, not freedom. Natural Rights and the Right to Choose is not simply another meditation on abortion: It is a profound and lucid inquiry into the moral tenor of our culture. No thinking person will encounter this spiritual tocsin unchanged." -Roger Kimball, The New Criterion, '... with a style that is accessible ... the book should be of interest to anyone concerned with the American labour movement'.

He shines at exposing sloppy logic and sophistry.' Wall Street Journal, "Arkes admirably merges his experiences in public policy with his philosophical defense of natural rights. For that reason, I especially recommend Arke's book for courses in philosophy of law and social/political philosophy, but it would also be a unique addition to a biomedical ethics course or to any ethics course specifically dealing with the issue of abortion." -Emily Crookston, "Part legal and intellectual history, part political philosophy, part polemic, part memoir--[Mr. Arkes's book] succeeds brilliantly in tracing the effects of the decision to reject natural rights."

Synopsis
Over the last thirty years the American political class has come to talk itself out of the doctrines of "natural rights" that formed the main teaching of the American Founders and Abraham Lincoln. With that move, they have talked themselves out of the ground of their own rights. But the irony is that they have made this transition without the least awareness, and indeed with a kind of serene conviction that they have been expanding constitutional rights. Since 1965, in the name of "privacy" and "autonomy," they have unfolded, vast new claims of liberty, all of them bound up in some way with the notion of sexual freedom, and yet this new scheme of rights depends on a denial, at the root, of the premises and logic of natural rights. Hadley Arkes argues that the "right to choose an abortion" has functioned as the "right" that has shifted the political class from doctrines of natural right. The new "right to choose" overturned the liberal jurisprudence of the New Deal, and placed jurisprudence on a notably different foundation. And so even if there is a "right" to abortion, that right has been detached from the logic of natural rights and stripped of moral substance. As a consequence, the people who have absorbed these new notions of rights have put themselves in a position in which they can no longer offer a moral defense of any of their rights. Hadley Arkes is the Edward Ney Professor of American Institutions at Amherst College. He is the author of First Things (Princeton, 1986), Beyond the Constitution (Princeton, 1990), and The Reform Constitution (Princeton, 1994). He has been a contributor to First Things, the journal that took its name from his book of that title., In the name of privacy, vast new liberties have been claimed, bound up with the notion of sexual freedom. The 'right to an abortion' overturned the jurisprudence of the New Deal and has been detached from the logic of natural rights and stripped of moral substance., Over the last thirty years the American political class has come to talk itself out of the doctrines of 'natural rights' that formed the main teaching of the American Founders and Abraham Lincoln. With that move, it has removed the ground for its own rights. Ironically, this transition has been made without awareness, with a serene conviction that constitutional rights are being expanded. In the name of 'privacy' and 'autonomy', new claims of liberty have been unfolded, all of them bound up in some way with the notion of sexual freedom. The 'right to choose an abortion' has been the 'right' to shift the political class from doctrines of natural right. This new right overturned the liberal jurisprudence of the New Deal, placing jurisprudence on a different foundation. If there is a right to abortion, it has been detached from the logic of natural rights and stripped of moral substance.
