The Constitution of the United States guarantees all Americans
certain rights, such as the freedoms of speech and religious
expression. But what guarantees our "sexual" freedoms?
Sexual Rights in America presents a bold and intriguing look at
the constitutional basis of sexual rights in America. Resurrecting
the "forgotten" Ninth Amendment, which guarantees those fundamental
rights not protected elsewhere in the Constitution, Abramson and
colleagues argue that the freedom to choose how, when, and with
whom we express ourselves sexually is integral to our happiness.
Their careful review of the historical record reveals the
importance of the "pursuit ofhappiness" in the socio-moral
philosophy underpinning the Constitution. Sexual freedoms, they
assert, are cut from the same cloth as the other freedoms protected
by the Bill of Rights, and therefore, should be covered by the
Ninth Amendment.
Using concrete examples such as prostitution and phone sex,
Sexual Rights in America illustrates the scope and limitations of
Ninth Amendment sexual rights.
