Judith Jarvis Thomson argues that abortion is justifiable due to the fact that in the early stages of pregnancy the unborn child is only a clump of cells and tissues. I, however will argue that Thomson’s views are inadequate due to simple life cycles and the false pretenses that an unborn child isn’t a real “person”.
