How did the second contemporary issue effect your principles? Are you better able to see areas where your principles need adjusting? What adjustments need to be made? Which philosopher's position was least consistent with your own principles and why?


This topic actually did affect my principles. I am against abortion when it is used as a method of birth control and I do believe that an unborn fetus has the same rights as a the women that has the choice to abort the child. I do see the points that Warren makes about the fetus being dependent on the mother but that does not remove all rights from the child to have life. You can give the child up for adoption to a couple being gay or straight that can not have a child and would be more than happy to raise that child. I think that abortion should be the last option no the first. But at the same time I feel that the government should not force women into having a child that they do not want. The option should always be there even I disagree with it. 


Warren position was lease consistent with my principles I think that she is taking value away from human life that is in the making and is only saying we are humans once we are born. But she is forgetting that we were all fetus' at one point which and it was not through birth that we became human but through at the time we are conceived. I think that her views are very extreme and do not give the fetus any right. I think that she does not value life at all and the woman's choice whether she this life or she is forgetting that which in that woman's womb is life the greatest gift that we can ever have and it should looked at closer than just a choice.
