In this lecture I cover the pro life arguments presented in the book Understanding Abortion: From Mixed Feelings to Rational Thought (Lexington Books, 2012) by Stephen D. Schwarz with Kiki Latimer. There ensues a discussion about a range of related topics with excellent insights and questions by the students. We explore the arguments further, and discuss embryology, physiology and contraception as related to this overall topic.
