Her argument isn’t “pure garbage”. She is attempting to argue from “first principles” of self ownership. Of course it would then follow that late term abortions woukd be just as moral as first trimester abortions which is an argument she does not make. Itt could even be argued from such “first principles” that terminating the child after birth would be just as moral as the child is still dependent on the mother. For that matter, those “…people who only survive because of help from the outside world …” are likewise dependent on the labor and sacrifices of others. What moral reason based on “first principles” would make terminating their existance immoral? It could be argued that a speedy extermination was the more compassionate approach than allowing them to perish from famine brought on by lack of the “help from the outside world.”

First principles are useful philosophical tools but they are still merely tools and should not be elevated to the point that they are in conflict with humanity. People such as myself believe intuitively that a human is more than the sum of his parts. Libertarians tend to believe otherwise.

I think that Justice Roberts had the right approach – the law in question was about a 15 week limit (and as Roberts pointed out, nearly all nations that allow abortion limit it in 12-16 weeks) and the court should have stuck to what was argued. Now we have a new Pandora’s Box where some will try to ban IUD’s, emergency contraceptives, condoms, who knows… because there is no “right to privacy” – the “Right” (like the “Left”) when unchecked, will gravitate to “my way or the highway” thinking. If there truly is no “right to privacy”, can the state mandate cameras in women’s vaginas? Just like Roe v Wade opened up its own 50 year jihad, Dobbs will do the same in the opposite direction. Ironically, median American public opinion is roughly at the abortion of golf-ball size developing babies legal, formed 1 lb babies not – not per se moral but perhaps a practical compromise. Nevertheless, thanks to anti-social “social media” and 24-hour rant networks, this country is diverging rather than converging – so more hysterics to follow.

As a follow up, Steve Sailer thoroughly put to bed the theory that legal abortion contributed to low crime years ago.

This is pure garbage. Abortion is murder, doesn’t matter what trimester it happens.

Ilana is quite brilliant and rational almost all of the time, it’s sad to hear her so confused on this issue.
