Professor Liz Harman has the common view about pregnancy that choice folk hold. When welcome it is a precious event that is shared with others and the medium favoured is a sonogram of the little swimmer. If miscarried at this point there is sadness and loss.
Now if the pregnancy is unwelcome there is a medical situation that needs to be rectified. There is magically not a pregnancy which would imply in the course of nature a birth.
The strangely normal thing is that the same woman can have both these attitudes at different times. Objectively the reality of there being a little sportive swimmer is the same in both cases.
What is our likely attitude toward that moral stance? How would one view such mutability? As a mother with a favourite child, as a moral imbecile, a confused person, and probably not our first choice as a friend. They have intrinsic value even if they don’t recognise it. Would or should you trust them?
