In the paper “A Defense of Abortion” written by Judith Jarvis Thomson, Thomas reasons toward the conclusion that abortion is only permissible under certain circumstances, such as rape, and she also offers certain scenarios where going through with an abortion would be considered permissible. From the beginning of the paper, Thomson establishes the fact that for the sake of the argument, she will assume that the fetus is a person from the moment of conception, although this is not what she believes

Each of these defenses have been used throughout criminal history, sometimes successful, and other times

In the said article, he is claiming that we all should give the same respect to the lives of non-human animals the same respect we give to the lives of human.
