I haven’t written on the topic of abortion for a while and in the interim you may have noticed that it’s been a fairly hot topic following the US Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade. Yet it’s far from a settled issue and in countries like Sweden still not a political issue at all. Although I haven’t written anything I saved a whole bunch of articles that I consider well worth reading because they either make the pro-life case well, raise important points from the pro-choice side or in some other way illuminate the discussion. I’m not endorsing anything more than read this for yourself.
