I’ve been testing out a new argument against abortion for a while, but not many people are willing to bite so I’m not sure how many flaws are in it, or even if it’s orginal.
Now, remember, this is a work in progress, and I apologise in advance for my inability to spell correctly.
Question:
Is the “right to life” an abstract concept?
Consider:
Where “abstract concept” is an ideal based on subjective opinion rather then objective logic.
Answer?
Where the answer is “yes, the right to life is an abstract concept” one must address the issue: if the zygote, embryo or foetus, hereunto collectively refered thereof as “uterine entity” does not hold any “right to life”, abortion is justified under the basis that there is no “right to life”.
However, one must come to understand that if there is no “right to life” for the uterine entity, and the “right to life” is indeed an abstract, then persons outside the uterus also have no right to life.
Therefore, if the answer is “yes” and there is no right to life, then why are there laws prohibiting murder, what’s to stop me ending your life?
If it is abstract, the concept of “right to life” then you have no entitlement to life, whether your own or otherwise.
However:
If the answer is “no, the right to life is not an abstract concept” then one must come to decide where life begins and at what point does the right to life be bestowed upon human form.
The answer to that is provided by science. Life begins, for the human individual, at conception.
The right to life being proven to not be an abstract, and to be something which is expected, and given by virtrue of the fact of the humanity of the individual, then abortion, for any reason, is not justifiable.
