     I am disappointed that nobody has referenced the violinist thought experiment, which would logically lead to the conclusion of the topic question and I have seen posited as a strong argument against the pro-life position.

I did not come up with it myself - a Methodist liberal pro lifer I follow on social media made the argument today in that context, as a response to the violinist argument.

     It's a very good point, and the violinist argument is for me in many ways a symbol of how divorced academic moral philosophy is from the real world. I have seen far too many people that I otherwise respect treat it as a solid apologetic for legalized abortion, when it leads us to conclusions that our pro-choice friends rightly find abhorrent.
