A concluding plea

I hope someone can show me where I have gone wrong in my argument. Which step is illogical? Or perhaps you want to say the silliest thing of all, that the very laws of logic are illogical, that it is true that there is no truth, that two contradictory propositions can both be true at the same time? Do you want to deny the validity of all arguments just so that you can escape this one?

I honestly wish that some day some pro-choice thinker would show me one argument that proved that the victim of abortion was not a human person, with a right to life. That would save me and millions of other pro-lifers enormous

grief, worry, effort, time, work, and money. But until that time, I will keep arguing because it is what I do, as a philosopher. It is my weak version of a mother shouting and screaming that something terrible is happening: babies are being slaughtered. I will do this because “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” That is certainly sufficient reason for working passionately for the pro-life cause. But there is an even more momentous reason, the ultimate reason, the ultimate court of appeal if you believe the words of the man nearly everyone admits was at least a moral expert, a wise man, and a truth teller, and the man Christians believe was God incarnate: “Truly, truly, I assure you, whatever you do to one of the least of these, my littlest ones, you do to me.”
