The Paper
– You will need to write an argumentative essay.
The paper should be on the topic you chose at the beginning of the semester ( I chose abortion) and discuss each week in the social justice discussion board. The paper should present your more considered opinion( opinion is: abortion is a medical necessity and the right to choose as a woman trumps a fetus.) and arguments on the topic.
TOPIC: Abortion
Please write the paper from a Pro-Abortion / Pro-Choice stance.
the social justice discussion boards that have to be discussed:
What would utilitarianism have to say about abortion? Elaborate.
What would libertarianism have to say about abortion? Elaborate.
Is a free market solution possible for abortion? Explain.
What would Kant have to say about abortion? How would the Categorical Imperative apply (especially the humanity as an end formulation)? Does Kant’s emphasis on autonomy and respect give a different answer to your topic compared to the liberarian or utilitarian?
What would Rawls have to say about abortion? How would his approach solve (or not) the topic you are discussing? How would arguing behind the Veil of Ignorance help (or not) with your topic? How does Rawls’s second principle of justice (the difference principle) apply to your topic?
