Countering Abortion Arguments #8: So What if the Baby is Alive? (Violinist Hypothetical)
Usually, the abortion argument centers around whether or not the baby is alive, but some arguments, such as "the hypothetical violinist," assume the baby is already alive and holds that the mother has a right to kill the baby either way. This is certainly a more honest argument, but does it hold up to scrutiny?
