Its main argument is the argument of the future being similar to ours and why killing a fetus is wrong. His main argument concerns the existence of very rare exceptions where abortion is not morally wrong. He initially began his argument by showing the various points of the intellectual battles between pro-choice people and pro-life people. Talk about the idea of "he sounds like a child" and how it causes a stalemate that makes it difficult to successfully emphasize arguments. Topics are not successfully emphasized because they do not meet in the middle because they are too broad or too narrow. Marquis talks about how anti-abortionists would claim this because a fetus resembles a baby at some point and how they find enough information to support their pro-life position. He also talks about how those who were pro-choice would claim that the fetus “looks like a baby” does not necessarily mean it is one, meaning that the abortion would not be illicit (Marquis, 447). He states that these arguments appear to be expressed as if they are sufficient to determine whether or not it is morally right to abort a fetus. Marchese decides to move away from the path that was paved by other pro-lifers before him and decides to create his own. Marchese decides to start with human beings, more precisely with adults
