Apologetics Infographic

Most second premise objections fall into three categories:

  1. Justifications / Circumstances1) (enter from all different directions, like CCBR presentation graphic)
    • Three steps to trot out the toddler
      1. Relate: Find Common Ground
      2. Recount: Use an analogy (to trot out the toddler)
      3. Remind: ask what's the difference
    • core pro-life argument / justification line / difficult life circumstances lin
  2. [Biology] Not human2)
    • Three Question apologetic
      1. If something is growing, isn't it alive?
      2. If something has human parents, is it human offspring?
      3. Human beings have human rights, don't they?
    • biology of prenatal development
      • fertilization;
      • unique whole human life
      • composition / behaviour
        • gamete vs. organism 3)
  3. [Personhood] Human, but…4)
    • Personhood = human + X ⇒ definition of a grave violation human rights
    • SLED ⇒ age discrimination
  4. [1st premise objections] Then, okay, human person but right to life can be trumped by… bodily autonomy or mother's right to life5)
