The list contains various philosophical and ethical questions regarding abortion, personhood, and reproductive rights. Here’s a concise summary based on the main themes:
Human Value and Personhood:
- Are humans more valuable than other animals, and what defines personhood?
- What criteria grant personhood (e.g., consciousness, sentience)?
Moral and Ethical Considerations:
- When does a fetus acquire moral status?
- Is there a moral distinction between abortion and infanticide?
- What makes a life valuable, and why is killing considered wrong?
Bodily Autonomy:
- Do individuals have the right to make decisions about their own bodies, particularly regarding pregnancy?
- How do the rights of the pregnant person weigh against the rights of the fetus?
Legal and Social Implications:
- Should laws reflect a balance between the rights of the mother and those of the fetus?
- What role does consent play in discussions about parenthood and abortion?
Religious and Cultural Perspectives:
- How do different religious beliefs influence views on abortion?
- What impact does societal perception have on the legality and morality of abortion?
Practical Concerns:
- Considerations regarding the responsibilities of parents towards their offspring.
- Discussion on the implications of enforced abortion under various circumstances (interest of parents, health of the mother, etc.).
Controversial Scenarios:
- Questions proposing extreme or hypothetical scenarios, including parental rights, potential health risks, and moral dilemmas surrounding unwanted pregnancies.
- These themes reflect deep-seated societal debates about the nature of life, individual rights, and the ethical ramifications of abortion.
- Are humans more valuable than other animals, if so why?

- Do people consider drunken sex to be consent to parenthood?
- If you believe the unborn have a right to life, then who should provide that right to life to all the unborn from IVF?
- I’d love to see questions that directly engage christian’s just because it’s the religious right in the US that are dominating the dialogue. Something like “Does the bible clearly teach that abortion is wrong” or “can the bible be interpret such that abortion is permissible” or.. anything along those lines. “can you still be a christian and be pro-choice” .. I know that that’s outside the scope maybe if this survey if you only want questions that can be grades as right or wrong, but I do think the answers could help inform how we can engage in this conversation better

- Maybe on a separate quiz or blog post, you could go into the logic behind the pro-life view that there should be no exceptions to bans on abortion. It's very interesting that some (if not many) pro life people think that abortion should be illegal even when the mother's life/health is at risk. How does this not invalidate the entire argument, if it requires killing one life to save another?
