This October, pro-life and pro-choice scholars will gather at Princeton for a conference designed to facilitate a public discourse of “open hearts, open minds, and fair-minded words.” Participants include John Finnis, Peter Singer, Frances Kissling, Robin West, Helen Alvare, Dawn Johnsen, and Anita Allen, among others. I’ll be speaking about rights of conscience, and fellow LRE-er Rick G. will be speaking about the constitutional dimension of the abortion issue. Listening to John Finnis, Maggie Little, and Peter Singer discuss the moral status of the fetus should itself be worth the (very reasonable) price of admission. Registration is now open.

Is there a plan to publish the papers?
I haven’t heard of any plan in that regard, though sometimes they spring that on you once you get there . . .
Please publish the papers and put it on Youtube …well that is the plea of the Aussie.
