Judith Jarvis Thomson offers her famous violinist scenario to argue why abortion is morally acceptable, even if the fetus is a person.

The article discussed here are from the following textbook:

I would say the problem with this violinist position are a few things. Let me know what you think.
A womens body is for the unborn based off her own body allowed this human to exist take her uterus is proper function is to bare a human. Unlike the waking up to the random human hooked up to you. The stranger compared to your own child.
There is also an issue with one being an ordinary use or her body ( pregnancy) and a extrodnary use with as the stranger hooked to you.

Prolife says "equal rigths". No, in this position he feotus than gets special rights to life. The mother has to be ready to forgo bodily integrity and eaven her very life to bring that child into the world.
