The Pro-Life Adventures of Tanya the Tadpole

April 18, 2022/0 Comments/in Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Secular Pro-Life founder and president Kelsey Hazzard here. Our Executive Director Monica Snyder is on maternity leave, giving me free rein to do ridiculous things like pitch a pro-life TV show for preschoolers to Ben Shapiro. The Daily Wire recently announced a $100 million investment in conservative children’s content, and I have a great idea. […]

The Burning Fertility Clinic Argument Is Not Convincing

March 16, 2022/1 Comment/in Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s guest article is by Alexander Hyun.] If you must choose between saving one newborn and saving five human embryos that are only a few days old, it’s intuitive that you morally ought to save the newborn. This observation forms the basis of the Burning Fertility Clinic Argument, a well-known type of argument against the […]

Why artificial wombs pose a challenge to pro-choice personhood arguments

October 22, 2021/0 Comments/in Personhood, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

[Photo credit Patricia Prudente from Unsplash] Personhood and Artificial Womb Technology In 2017, artificial womb technology was successfully used to support lamb fetuses that had been transferred from their mothers, and there’s hope that this technology will soon be used on very premature human infants. This makes it important to think about the moral status […]

Embryos & metaphysical personhood: both biology & philosophy support the pro-life case.

October 20, 2021/0 Comments/in Personhood, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Photo credit NeONBRAND with Unsplash Today’s guest blog post is by Kristina Artuković Anyone who is in any way involved in the debate on prenatal justice knows that it usually involves tiring discussions about the meaning of terms like human, person, personhood or potentiality. More versed pro-choice advocates insist that the meaning of human is […]

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, […]

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 […]

Taking a Symmetrical View of Human Life

November 4, 2015/0 Comments/in Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

Baruch Brody, in an essay titled “Against an Absolute Right to Abortion”, [1] defends what he calls the brain, heart, and lung theory of death, adapted from a theory put forth by ethicist Paul Ramsey. Brody is, himself, pro-life, but only after the first trimester. The view he supports essentially states in order to determine […]

Why Personhood Ultimately Doesn’t Matter in the Abortion Debate

August 19, 2015/0 Comments/in Personhood, Philosophy /by Clinton Wilcox

Today, Dennis Prager released an excellent video presenting five non-religious moral arguments against abortion. Please give it a watch. I’d like to focus on the first of Prager’s five arguments, which is that even if the unborn are not persons, it doesn’t mean, ipso facto, that abortion is moral. Now, I’ve argued elsewhere that the unborn certainly […]

A Kantian Analysis of Bodily Autonomy

August 11, 2015/1 Comment/in Bodily Rights, Philosophy /by Clinton Wilcox

Bodily autonomy. It’s a term that has essentially lost all meaning in our culture today. Not because it doesn’t have an objective meaning, but because the cry for “bodily autonomy” (e.g. “my body, my choice”) has been accepted uncritically as a modern slogan, despite most pro-choice people being unable to defend the proposition that bodily […]

A Note on Human Dignity

May 5, 2015/0 Comments/in Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

I came across a question over the internet. I’m not a user on Tumblr, but this came up on Google. Someone had asked this question: What’s the main reason you think abortion is ok? The answer, which is indicated as the best one, is: “Because forcing someone to continue with a pregnancy against their will […]
