## Resource

Scott Klusendorf wraps up his series on the academic thinkers driving pro-abortion thought. Giubilini and Minerva shocked the world by arguing that if abortion is permissible, so is killing newborns—because neither fetus nor newborn is an "actual person." David Boonin takes a different path, conceding that you are identical to the embryo you once were, yet denying you had a right to life back then. Learn how to answer both arguments—one based on identity, the other on rights—and see why either way the conclusion is deadly, on this episode of The Case for Life.
