Abortion Rights
“Necessary preparation for intelligently grappling with the complex set of arguments about abortion accumulated over more than half a century.”
Helen Alvaré, George Mason University, Virginia
This audiobook features opening arguments followed by two rounds of reply between two moral philosophers on opposing sides of the abortion debate. In the opening essays, Kate Greasley and Christopher Kaczor lay out what they take to be the best case for and against abortion rights. In the ensuing dialogue, they engage with each other's arguments, and each responds to criticisms fielded by the other. Their conversational argument explores such fundamental questions as:
What gives a person the right to life?
Is abortion bad for women?
What is the difference between abortion and infanticide?
Underpinned by philosophical reasoning and methodology, this audiobook provides opposing and clearly structured perspectives on a highly emotive and controversial issue. The result gives listeners a window into how moral philosophers argue about the contentious issue of abortion rights, and an in-depth analysis of the compelling arguments on both sides.
