Pro-Choicers’ Persistent Infant Problem, Part 2: A Reply to DeGrazia

October 12, 2022/0 Comments/in Personhood, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Alex Hyun

[Previous article: Pro-Choicers’ Persistent Infant Problem: A Reply to Boonin] Pro-choice philosopher David DeGrazia has defended a view on which pre-conscious human fetuses lack moral rights, and part of his defense includes an argument for thinking that his position “does not support radical openness to infanticide” (77).[1] But his view does not adequately address pro-choicers’ […]

Response to “Abortion Rights after Artificial Wombs”

August 31, 2022/0 Comments/in Bodily Rights, Personhood, Philosophy /by Leslie Corbly

[Today’s guest article is by Leslie Corbly.] In her article, “Abortion Rights after Artificial Wombs: Why Decriminalisation is Needed Ahead of Ectogenesis,” feminist scholar Claire Horn argues that the advancement of technology allowing for fetal development outside the natural womb of a woman threatens a woman’s right to abortion. Preserving the life of the unborn […]

“The Conversation” Platforms Pro-Abortion Disinformation

August 26, 2022/1 Comment/in Biology, Personhood, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Audrey Wagner

[Today’s guest article is by Audrey Wagner.] The Conversation claims to publish “trustworthy and informative articles written by academic experts.” So I was recently disheartened, and not just a little annoyed, when I found false premises, misleading information, and logical fallacies among three of their recent articles discounting the value of unborn humans in the […]

Six Illustrated Responses to “A Fetus Isn’t a Person”

[Today’s guest article and illustrations are by Elise Ketch.] So you’re a fetus defender, and a troll has appeared from the bowels of the internet to gatekeep basic human rights. “A human fetus doesn’t have rights unless it’s a person,” declares the troll, placing the obstacle of personhood between the fetus and their rights. “And […]

Pro-Choice Activists’ Next Mission: Influence Children

June 24, 2022/0 Comments/in Bodily Rights, Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Recently, Vox and Slate each ran articles on how to raise pro-abortion children. Alas, both missed the opportunity to use the title Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Pro-Life. News editors are no fun. At Vox, we have “It’s important to talk to your kids about abortion. Here’s how.” Author Alex Hazlett […]

Secular Pro-Life founder and president Kelsey Hazzard here.

The Burning Fertility Clinic Argument Is Not Convincing

March 16, 2022/1 Comment/in Philosophy, Uncategorized /by Alex Hyun

[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 Alex Hyun

[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 […]
