摘要

2022 年,美国推翻了 "罗伊诉韦德 "案的判决。这意味着虽然堕胎在大多数司法管辖区仍然合法,但它不再是一项宪法权利,从而为将其定为非法铺平了道路。自 "罗伊诉韦德 "案判决以来,针对堕胎服务提供者和堕胎诊所的爆炸和其他暴力袭击时有发生,并造成一些人死亡。绝大多数反堕胎活动家都谴责这种暴力行为。同时,大多数反堕胎活动家认为胎儿是人,并最终认为堕胎是一种谋杀。在本文中,我将论证,如果堕胎是谋杀,那么反堕胎暴力活动家就有轰炸堕胎诊所的道德许可。为此,我依据正义战争理论的原则。归根结底,我依据的是一个 "方式论证"(modus tollens argument)来证明堕胎不是谋杀:如果堕胎是谋杀,那么激进分子就有道德理由轰炸堕胎诊所;激进分子没有道德理由轰炸堕胎诊所;因此,堕胎不是谋杀。除了试图证明堕胎不是谋杀之外,我还试图说明反堕胎观点的不一致性。

The immorality of bombing abortion clinics as proof that abortion is not murder.

The Roe v. Wade decision was overturned in the United States in 2022. This implies that while abortion remains legal in most jurisdictions, it is no longer a constitutional right, thus paving the way for making it illegal. Ever since the Roe v. Wade decision, there have been bombings and other violent attacks against abortion providers and abortion clinics, claiming some fatal victims. The overwhelming majority of anti-abortion activists condemn such violence. At the same time, most anti-abortion activists consider the fetus a person, and ultimately believe that abortion is a form of murder. In this article, I argue that if abortion is murder, then anti-abortion violent activists have moral license to bomb abortion clinics. To do so, I rely on the principles of Just War theory. Ultimately, I rely on a modus tollens argument to prove that abortion is not murder: if abortion is murder, then activists have moral justification in bombing abortion clinics; activists do not have moral justification in bombing abortion clinics; therefore, abortion is not murder. Apart from attempting to prove that abortion is not murder, I also attempt to show the incoherence of the anti-abortion view.
