- This argument from Steve Adams is especially confusing.
- First he states that abortion is morally wrong from a
- religious perspective, and then he goes on to argue that
- abortion is not morally wrong from a secular perspective
- (i.e. the woman has a "liberty interest" and a "right" in
- protecting herself). How is it possible to argue two sides
- of the same coin here?
