The most recent issue of the National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly (Vol. 11, no. 3; Autumn 2011) contains several articles that continue the discussion about the Phoenix abortion case and related matters. The issue contains articles by Rev. Nicanor Pier Giorgio Austriaco, OP (Abortion in a Case of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension), Thomas A. Cavanaugh (Double-Effect Reasoning, Craniotomy, and Vital Conflicts), and Rev. Martin Rhonheimer (Vital Conflicts, Direct Killing, and Justice). The NCBQ (edited by Ted Furton) is always well worth reading and this issue is no exception.
