Abstract
The issues involved in formulating reproductive laws are among the most sensitive legal and policy questions confronting the courts, the Congress, and the American people. They affect emerging medical and scientific technology, and raise complex questions about civil rights, labor protections, and public health policy. Also, of course, they touch deeply on many highly sensitive questions of morality, religion, and personal values. Establishing policy on reproductive issues will undoubtedly be very difficult. Yet medical technology and social trends compel us to confront these issues.
