Summary
With philosophical nerve and unforgettable thought experiments, Judith Jarvis Thomson’s “A Defense of Abortion” transformed the moral debate on reproductive rights. First published in 1971, it became a cornerstone of modern moral philosophy, widely taught, fiercely debated, and endlessly cited. Few essays have so deeply shaped public discourse—or made abstract reasoning feel so urgently and disarmingly human.
