Long-form discussion of ethics related to recent events involving abortion law. The goal of this video is NOT to state my opinion or try to sway your opinion but rather to provide a better explanation of why there's a disagreement on this topic, what the role of the Supreme Court is in applying the law, and how journalists should be covering news related to unethically obtained information. This video covers three topics in detail: 1. The Ethics of Abortion (2:58) 2. The Role and Ethics of the Supreme Court in Law (33:05) 3. The Ethics of Journalism Regarding Leaked Information (50:54) Note: My qualifications and interest in these topics are that I wrote an 80-page chapter on ethics in my book, The Meaning of Life: A Guide to Finding Your Life's Purpose, where I explain in detail how ethics work, how society sets laws based on them, and how you can use them in your life. As a result, my focus is on the ethics behind the politics (i.e., politics and laws are just agreed upon and applied ethics).
