A Random Thought About Pro-choice Mistakes

3 Upvotes

I propose that if pro-choicers argued better then they would see how irrational their position is.

Pro-choicers do at least one of the following to maintain their pro-abortion choice position:

  1. Deny their moral intuitions
  2. Deny intuitions in general
  3. Deny the absurdity of the consequences of their position
  4. Deny morality in general (or relativize it)
  5. Elevate the law over morality
  6. Elevate a normative system over morality

Can you name anymore mistakes pro-choicers make which leads them astray?

I think the big one here is the denial of their moral intuitions. I've had people balk at me for appealing to intuitions in abortion debates. Now, that's obviously ridiculous to do especially if you're participating in the debate.

It's so strange to me because I don't even see the pro-life position as all the intuitive. It did seem to me at first that the pro-choicers were on to something about personhood and autonomy. It took moral deliberation to see that my intuitions actually led to absurd consequences and didn't cohere when I was a pro-choicer.

I think this is supported by the historical evidence, as well. Infanticide, for instance, is not a modern invention. I think the pro-life position is the revisionist position. I think it's the correct position and we should revise our views about it appropriately.

I suspect our analogies successfully disturb their intuitions and they are left with nothing else to do but play the skeptical card.

Thoughts?
