Ep. 35 A Philosophical Look at Abortion

Text Us! In this episode, we spend some time engaging with an article that was written by American philosopher Judith Jarvis Thomson. Thomson tries to argue that even if one could prove that the "thing" inside the womb is a human child, it still would not take away from the right to abort that child. She uses some unprecedented illustrations to prove her point and we spend time unpacking and responding to these points that she makes. We hope you enjoy!If you would like to read the article that we reference in this episode, you can find it here: https://spot.colorado.edu/~heathwoo/Phil160,Fall02/thomson.htmTo learn more about our online Pneumatology and New Testament Survey Courses, click here https://www.fgbi.org/fast-track.html.If you would like to donate to the Podcast, you can do that here:https://www.fgbi.org/contact--giving.htmlType the amount you would like to give in, proceed to the next window and in the "Special Instructions" box simply type "Podcast". Contact us here:[email protected]
