Love and Power: The Role of Religion and Morality in American Politics
by Michael J. Perry. 230 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

In this sequel to his Morality, Politics, and Law, Michael Perry addresses the proper relation of moral convictions to the politics of a morally pluralistic society. While his analysis focuses on religious morality, Perry's argument applies to morality generally. Contending that no justification of a contested political choice can be neutral among competing conceptions of human good, the author develops an ideal of "ecumenical politics" in which moral convictions about human good can be brought to bear in a productive way in political argument.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

A groundbreaking new book on American policy & human fertility control which reviews & analyzes policies & practices over the last thirty years in each of the fifty states. Arguing that morality politics has helped make fertility policies contentious & complex, McFarlane & Meier conclude that current policies are inadequate for addressing unintended pregnancies & even contribute to high abortion rates. The authors offer alternative public policy designed to be more effective in the future.
