Subscribe to get parts 1 and 2 of this now, ad-free. We discuss widely read papers about abortion, including an excerpt from Roe v. Wade (1973) and Judith Jarvis Thomson's "A Defense of Abortion" (1971). Thomson argues that even if we grant (for the sake of argument) that a fetus is a person, abortion should still be permissible given that a woman owns her body.
