A pro-abortion physician and a professor have levied an attack on the pro-life argument in Salon, calling it “weak.” The authors – Dr. Nathan Nobis, an associate professor at Morehouse College, and Dr. Jonathan Dudley, a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins – assert that abortion advocates need to be comfortable making an “ethical” case in support of abortion in order to counter pro-life arguments.
