Abstract: In recent years the issue of reproductive rights in the United States has gained prominence in the media through several important legal cases, most notably the Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe versus Wade. The issue has received little, if any, attention from economists. Economics appears, however, to be well suited to address the issue. This paper examines the issue of reproductive rights by employing a combination of economic and legal concepts. Couching the issue in this context affords economists the opportunity to consider the efficiency aspects of various legal scenarios that pertain to reproductive rights.
Keywords: Economics appears reproductive rights.
