Yesterday I posted a brief comment, Allowing the Unborn to Live While Respecting Women’s Free Will,” on a law review article arguing that the means of abortion should be limited to those which provide the greatest opportunity for the unborn child to flourish while respecting the woman’s right to control her own body. It appears that I am not the only commentator on the article. A lively exchange on the the article can be found in the online journal, Libertarian Papers. The opening salvo is by Jakub Bożydar Wiśniewski, who argues that a woman’s willing participation in sex precludes her deliberately harming the child that results. Block responds here. Their debate continues here, here, here, and here.
Comments on the exchange between the Block and Wiśniewski on the Libertarian webpages are uneven at best, but a few are also very interesting.
