Four Practical Tips for Responding to the Burning Fertility Clinic
A couple months ago, a series of tweets about abortion went viral. They used the pro-choice argument involving a burning fertility clinic thought experiment. As a pro-life advocate who occasionally gets questions about abortion issues, Tim received questions about this thought experiment from maybe 20 different individuals.
For some reason, pro-choice people tend to think this argument demolishes the pro-life view, so it’s important to be ready to respond to it efficiently (meaning you need to focus on just a couple of disanalogies, not all of them) and persuasively (meaning you need to convince them that you aren’t just weaseling out of a problem with your view). Tim's focus in this piece is practical dialogue—how to respond to this argument in a way that pro-choice people are most likely to find compelling.
