The Founding Generation's View of Abortion

Primary Sources from Common Law & Natural Rights

History Moments with Ted · Presented by Ted Lamb

An evening in the original sources: James Wilson (1742–1798), signer of the Declaration and the Constitution, William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, and the common law tradition the founding generation inherited. In Wilson's own words from his Lectures on Law: "With consistency, beautiful and undeviating, human life, from its commencement to its close, is protected by the common law."
