A Relational Approach to Moral Decision-Making: The Majority Opinion in "Planned Parenthood v. Casey."

Sullivan, Patricia A.; Goldzwig, Steven R.

Quarterly Journal of Speech, v81 n2 p167-90 May 1995

Defines a relational approach to moral reasoning. Notes that the Supreme Court, in "Planned Parenthood v. Casey," rejected simplistic approaches to moral reasoning and acknowledged the complex web of relationships involved in abortion decision making. Suggests that rhetoricians "revision" the art of persuasion to place more emphasis on relational values. (SR)
