PBA310Y: Judith Jarvis Thompson
Prerequisite: PBA210H
- “In chapter 7 of Francis Beckwith’s book, Politically Correct Death: Answering Arguments for Abortion Rights (1993), it extensively covers arguments such as this when refuting an analogy similar to the professor’s. The points Beckwith makes are in response to an analogy proposed by abortion advocate Judith Jarvis Thomson, known as “unplugging the violinist” and articulated in her paper, “A Defense of Abortion.” http://www.unmaskingchoice.ca/training/classroom/use#footnoteref3_bfcjhip
