If you have engaged in the abortion debate at all, you have definitely come across certain arguments for abortion known as bodily-rights arguments. These arguments attempt to demonstrate that abortion is permissible even if an unborn child is a human person with a right to life.

For example, in his book, Beyond Roe: Why Abortion Should be Legal Even if the Fetus Is a Person, David Boonin argues that abortion is ethically similar to the real-life court case McFall v Shimp. To summarize the case, Robert McFall needed a bone marrow transplant in order to live. Testing revealed that his cousin, David Shimp, was a match, but Shimp refused to go through with donating his bone marrow to McFall. 

Just a little over one year ago, the United States Supreme Court released the country from the lethal shackles of Roe v. Wade with their decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. This ruling returned the issue of abortion to the states, enabling them to once again pass laws that protect preborn life at any stage of development.



Texas was prepared for this moment — our pre-Roe law took effect once again, immediately stopping the abortion industry and protecting all preborn children from the moment of fertilization. But abortion fanatics would not give up so easily. Already, anti-Life groups have been plotting to lawlessly mail deadly abortion pills into Texas.
