A Rawlsian anti-abortion argument

November 20th, 2008 · No Comments

Here’s a thought experiment. Put yourself behind a veil of ignorance. You don’t know whether you will be put into a world in which abortion is prohibited, or not. You could pick a pro-life world, in which case you risk turning out to be the disadvantaged mother. You could pick a pro-choice world, in which case you could end up being the aborted fetus. Which do you pick?I suppose if you think fetuses aren’t persons, then there are no fetal positions in the original position, so this doesn’t work
