re: "After Ballot Losses, Where Does the Anti-Abortion Movement Go Next?" (The New York Times, August 21, 2023)
Does the radical anti-abortion zealot have any reason for thinking that there is inherently any reason why abortion is intrinsically morally wrong? What qualities is an unborn human baby supposed to have that make it somehow radically different to the unborn baby of a chimpanzee, pig, dog, rat or any other of our near relatives? So far as I know, there is no such quality. None.
There is nothing wrong with abortion.
There is, however, a lot that is wrong with treating the bodies of women as something that others, such as radical zealots running on unreflective, unreasoning, inhuman faith in a blinded and blinding ideology, should control above any right to personal autonomy of a pregnant woman.
