Judith Jarvis Thompson makes her case for abortion in this article from 1971. It is still one of the most referenced pro-choice arguments, even today. While Thompson does not think the unborn is a person, she is willing to grant it for arguments sake. Even if the unborn is a person, she still believes abortion is justifiable in at least some cases, especially when a woman becomes pregnant against her will. When Thompson uses these stories to make her point, I think that the unplugging the violinist analogy helps to show her opinion in a removed scenario. The fact that she tells this story this way makes you think outside of the box. If I were to get up and unplug my back from him he will die, if I stay for nine months he will live it really takes you there to that situation. However, no it is not the same. God has no mistakes when he creates and allows a life to be formed in the womb.

Consider an example of yourself as a member of team (as a volunteer, as a member of a church group or mission team, study group, community group). What did you do in terms of interacting with others that went well? What did you do as you interacted with others that did not go well, or that had an unexpected effect ? Looking back on the last example, how might you interact with people differently? (Give a specific example.)

Worldviews of the religious rights have changed dramatically since the time of our founding fathers. This nation was founded with God at the forefront so it is no suprise that most of our doctrines and views this country has is based on a religous belief with God guiding the way. In today's society it has almost became unethical to even mention you have christain beliefs. We no longer seem to as a government make decisions based off the bibles guidence but instead by what is least offensive to others. We as christains are forced to hold our beliefs to ourselves while accepting that other religions are important such as the Muslim faith. One thing I love is that although this nation was founded on beliefs of those who followed and loved God they made it clear that everyone was to have their own choice. This is yet another part of our country and worldviews that is taken from biblical scripture. I hope that someday we as a na

In many ways, this is the most important section, as much of what we think about medicine and human beings flows from our considerations on this issue. This section must include the following:
1. A statement on the moral status of the unborn: person, organism, or unknown. Include your overall view of fetal development in relation to the moral status of the unborn.
2. What does it mean to be human person? What are the necessary conditions that makes one a person?
3. Your general view on the moral permissibility of abortion.
4. Any justifiable exceptions to item 3 above, with reasons for exceptions.
5. Your view on imperiled newborns and infanticide: Is it ever justifiable? When and for what reasons.
