Abstract

An exploration of abortion and feminism. The author deplores the termination of the ontological unborn child at the choice of the mother, arguing that the foetus is not a thing. The book proposes that real issue preventing women from being viewed as equal intellectual and moral beings to men is espoused by pro-death and pro-life advocates alike -that being a proclivity not to criminalize the act of abortion as to the mother. Of course women who choose to kill their offspring should be held accountable to society for their intentional acts. To do otherwise is an aberration, which shows, in the case of men, who are the real misogynists.
