Should Abortion be Legal?

Should Abortion be Legal?

The landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade was supposed to settle the question of abortion’s legality once and for all, but the Court’s ruling has instead become a fulcrum of debate. Placed squarely at the intersection of civil rights, health, religion and law, abortion is one of America’s most heated controversies.

    Hi Cameron.

    You are using a pretty sophisticated philosophical argument first made years ago in print, by a female philosopher. A friend of mine (a University Professor of Philosophy) wrote an entire book on this and a couple of other important, pro-choice of abortion , philosophical arguments.

    You seem somewhat sophisticated, using the argument that you do. Are you also a Professor of Philosophy, or an interested philosophy student, or maybe just a very bright and thoughtful individual? Perhaps you might actually know my friend: Professor Steve Schwartz.

    Cameron? I'm not sure that I spelled his first name correctly (maybe it's "Stephen"). Google his name and perhaps the title of his book will also appear.

    I'm sorry. I'm a little old, now; and I can't remember the title of his book just now. It was more than a decade ago.

    Let me know if you can/can't find the book. I'll try to get you plugged into it.

      If not, I've got nothing. You're going to have to give me a link.

        URI Professor Steven Schwartz

        Hi, Cameron:

        I googled him for page after page, and came up empty. He's retired from URI and is working at another educational institution.

        I have his phone number. I'll see what I can do.
