PLCY 701 LU Policy The Issue of Abortion & Health Policies Discussion – Description
The Natural Law concepts that we have examined in the course inform the decisions of
policymakers whether explicitly or implicitly. Now that we have observed the development of
Classical Natural Law and its Christian updates, we are prepared to make some public policy
applications of our own.
Assignment: Pick one of policy areas from the Public Policy Applications sections in your earlier
assignments. Write a Policy Memorandum for a legislative committee that is considering
changes to law in this area. Explore the history of the policy issue, and using the information
learned thus far in this class, explain how the issue has changed over time due to changes in
public adherence to Natural Law principles.
Remember, this is an academic exercise in which you will interpret, analyze, and suggest a
position on a public policy issue.
INSTRUCTIONS
