Consent vs. Death
Some well-meaning pro-life advocates only focus of the humanity and value of the preborn, but that’s not always helpful. Some people think that abortion is justified even if the fetus is a valuable person just like adults. For example, the famous Violinist Argument by philosopher Judith Thomson tries to justify abortion even if the fetus is a valuable person. (Here’s an intro to the Violinist Argument by Stanford Students for Life.) We need to be prepared to argue that it is not permissible to kill a person simply because the person is in utero.
