Ep. 301: Is Abortion Morally Permissible? (Part Two)

Subscribe to get Parts 1, 2, and 3 ad-free right now. Continuing on Judith Jarvis Thomson's "A Defense of Abortion" (1971), plus Don Marquis' "Why Abortion is Immoral" (1989) and a summary of Mary Anne Warren's "On the Moral and Legal Status of Abortion" (1973), which we'll continue next week in part three with Jenny Hansen. Marquis claims that killing is wrong is because it deprives a being of a "future like ours," and so this will be true of fetuses too. The post Ep. 301: Is Abortion Morally Permissible? (Part Two) first appeared on The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast.
