Abortion as self-defenseIn some abortion debates it is argued that abortion constitutes a case of self-defense, meaning that the woman did not consent to the Fetus's use of her body and the fetus is an invader, who violated the woman's bodily autonomy. She has the right to use all the necessary force to stop this violation, even if it means the death of the intruder/abuser.
Even if she consented to sex, she did not consent to pregnancy, and the fetus is living in her body and using her organs without her consent. |

Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.

So, what’s the question? It sounds like a rational legal issue, but certainly not one of logic until there’s question or argument. I understand the apologia and I find it compelling. There’s no deception, no error in reasoning, but a unique and impressive defense.

We teach sexual education and basic biology in our schools. Everyone should know how babies are made by the time they are in high school. |
