Ep. 20: Abortion and the Philosophy of the Pro-Choice Position (aka F*ck the Supreme Court)
If you didn't wake up today wanting to listen to two cis white guys talk about abortion, DONATE to Planned Parenthood or local abortion funds and then take a listen to some other voices:
If you're still here, this isn't a funny episode. But we'll dive a bit into the history of Roe v. Wade and question the ways anti-choicers frame these questions to make the playing field uneven from the outset. Can philosophy help us resist the ways the anti-choice lobby manipulates the conversation? Can these arguments even convince anyone? Can Matt and Joe tie any of this back to Tabletop RPGs?
