Why Abortions Are Still Wrong and Should be Illegal (Part Three)

November 1, 2019 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

I recently began a series looking at a new article/book released by pro-choice philosophers Nathan Nobis and Kristina Grob (hereafter NG). You can read part one here and part two here. And if you’d like to read the book before you read my responses to it, you can read it for free online here. This […]

Why Abortions Are Still Wrong and Should be Illegal (Part One)

September 4, 2019 /0 Comments/in Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

Nathan Nobis and Kristina Grob recently published a book called Thinking Critically About Abortion: Why Most Abortions Aren’t Wrong & Why All Abortions Should Be Legal. The book was designed to teach people on both sides of the aisle, pro-life and pro-choice, how to have better conversations on the topic by pointing out bad arguments, […]

Are Human Embryos Human Beings from the Beginning?

June 12, 2019 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

Photo by Kelly Sikkema on Unsplash Pro-choice advocates will insist that the human embryo doesn’t become a human being until birth or at least sometime late in pregnancy. Pro-life people generally agree with the scientific consensus that human life begins at fertilization; once the ovum cell is fertilized by the sperm cell, a new, genetically distinct human organism […]

Nathan Nobis’ Summary of Pro-Choice Arguments

April 26, 2019 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

Nathan Nobis is an associate professor of philosophy at Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. He published an article on 1000 Word Philosophy summarizing the arguments in support of abortion. His article is called “The Ethics of Abortion.” Nobis clearly has a good grasp on the philosophical literature by pro-choice thinkers. While his summary of pro-choice […]

Whose Body Is It, Anyway?

March 11, 2019 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

There’s an argument I see pretty often by pro-life people that completely misses the point of the pro-choice objection. It is represented in the following meme: Now, the irony here is that whoever made the image is making a logical mistake while accusing pro-choice people of being “logic-impaired”. They have erected a strawman to attack […]

The Sorites Paradox as it Pertains to Personhood

October 17, 2018 /0 Comments/in Personhood, Philosophy /by Clinton Wilcox

My friend and pro-life mentor Steve Wagner introduced me to an article by Lee F. Kerckhove and Sara Waller (hereafter, K&W) called “Fetal Personhood and the Sorites Paradox.” [1] It’s not an argument I’ve seen very often but it was recently expounded by Kate Greasley in her book Arguments About Abortion: Personhood, Morality, and the […]

The Science/Philosophy Distinction

February 9, 2018 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

Last year I read and reviewed Life’s Work: A Moral Argument for Choice by abortionist Willie Parker (you can read my review of the book here). I posted my review on Goodreads and it actually garnered me more nasty responses than my reviews on Amazon, which surprised me somewhat. I gave a pretty thorough explanation for […]

The Plot Thickens: Rasanen on Ectogenesis

November 27, 2017 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

I recently wrote an article responding to Joona Rasanen’s arguments regarding ectogenesis. Ectogenesis refers to an organism growing in an artificial environment outside the body in which it would normally be found. In this context, it refers to the human embryo or fetus gestating in an artificial womb rather than the woman’s womb who conceived […]

Will Artificial Wombs End the Abortion Debate?

November 7, 2017 /0 Comments/in Bodily Rights /by Clinton Wilcox

Illustration of artificial womb technology sustaining a young lamb Xavier Symons, writing for BioEdge, a news website that focuses on bioethics, wrote an article about ectogenesis. Ectogenesis refers to a human embryo or fetus developing in an artificial environment outside of the woman’s uterus. Scientists recently kept premature lamb fetuses alive in an artificial environment, […]
