Abortion & Philosophy: A Beginners Guide

Here's a really nice presentation, "Abortion & Philosophy: A Beginners Guide," that gives an overview of our book:

Thanks to the Crusade Against Ignorance page for presenting this!

All other blog posts are available here: here are some of them:
  • Is abortion "healthcare"?

  • "Fetuses are human beings; all human beings are equal in dignity & worth; so abortion is wrong." Good or bad argument?

  • Pro-life virtues and vices? Pro-choice virtues and vices? On sex/gender and arguments

  • "Force birther"-ism and Virtue Signaling

  • Is the "bodily autonomy" argument for abortion *that* simple?

  • Are you part of a cult about abortion, or anything else?

  • Trent Horn on "The Problem of Personhood"

  • 'Yes, "a person is a person, no matter how small," but . .'

  • "If abortion is not wrong, then it's OK to kill sleeping people??!"

  • "When does life begin?' and 'Are fetuses human?': Two bad questions to ask about abortion"
