Asymmetry endures: a response to Holt
1Department of Philosophy, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada psing134@uottawa.ca.
Abstract:
Holt argues against my account of the moral disanalogy between the situation of a pregnant person having an abortion and a parent committing the infanticide of their newborn. I explain that this critique fails because Holt constructs a straw man of my account by misrepresenting its scope, misrepresents one of my arguments and presents false equivalences between both, withdrawing consent for sex and withdrawing from parenthood, and the relationship between a homeowner and their property and the relationship between a parent and their child, which demonstrates misunderstandings of the notions of parenthood, obligation and consent.
