“Abortion Is A Positive Moral Good, . . . .

From Joyce Arthur in answer to a critique of her article PERSONHOOD: IS A FETUS A HUMAN BEING.
“Abortion is a positive moral good and a blessing for women. It’s an act that empowers them, literally saves their lives, saves their existing or future children’s lives, protects and improves their health and that of their families, gives women back their chosen lives, enables them to pursue their career and educational aspirations, improves their economic prospects, allows them to better themselves, gives them a level playing field in the public sphere with men, and enables them to truly attain and exercise liberty and other constitutional freedoms. How can anything that saves women’s lives and gives them hope and freedom be “bad”?
To repeat:
1. Abortion empowers them,
2. literally saves their lives,
3. saves their existing or future children’s lives,
4. protects and improves their health and that of their families,
5. gives women back their chosen lives,
6. enables them to pursue their career and educational aspirations,
7. improves their economic prospects,
8. allows them to better themselves,
9. gives them a level playing field in the public sphere with men, and
10. enables them to truly attain and exercise liberty and other constitutional freedoms.
