Abstract

The article focuses on the parallel between Stephen Douglas's evasion of the slavery issue in the 1850s and Donald Trump's stance on abortion following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Topics include the doctrine of popular sovereignty as a legal tool to sidestep moral issues, the divisions within the public on slavery and abortion, and the ongoing relevance of Lincoln's first principles regarding fundamental human rights.
