What is the best/most convincing/most interesting argument you've heard advocating either (or both) of the following positions:
(A) that a woman has the right to terminate her pregnancy, even if the fetus IS a human being from the moment of conception, or
(B) that a woman doesn't have the right to terminate her pregnancy, even if the fetus is NOT a human being from the moment of conception.
Judith Jarvis Thomson's argument is a notable example of (A)--the argument of Don Marquis a notable example of (B).
The condition to the argument is crucial. Posting "ABORTION IS MURDER, FETUS IS A PERSON, WHY DO LIBERALS HATE JESUS?" really doesn't answer the question and neither does "IT'S A WOMAN'S BODY, RIGHT TO CHOOSE, THE POPE'S A JERK."
Have fun. : )
