Is consent to sex consent to pregnancy?
from The Mamapologist · host Jennifer DeFrates
This episode of The Mamapologist tackles the claim “Consent to sex is not consent to pregnancy.” We explore what consent actually means in law and ethics, why consent applies to actions rather than biological outcomes, and whether consent can justify ending a pregnancy once a new human life exists. The episode carefully distinguishes moral responsibility from moral permission, addressing bodily autonomy, power imbalance, and the limits of consent when serious bodily harm or death is involved.
