The abortion debate focuses on beliefs about fetal status. The concept of fetal innocence is critical for clarifying the difference between moral and religious viewpoints. Conflicting moral and religious perspectives on innocence points toward First Amendment protection and a practical “solution” to the abortion debate.

Lloyd Steffen is Professor of Religion Studies, University Chaplain, and Director of the Center for Dialogue, Ethics and Spirituality at Lehigh University. He is the author of seven books, including Life/Choice: The Theory of Just Abortion, He has served as representative to the U.N. for the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.
