Not bad, especially for a philosophy book!

Logic quiz update. Yesterday I asked a random group of people if these are bad arguments and, if so, why.
Many, perhaps most, respondents were not able to do that.
We can only hope that this was too easy for many people and so they didn't respond.

Anti-abortion folks tend to have very poor arguments, and they are resist to learning that and why (believe it or not!).

What will they think about what ChatGPT says??

I wish it were, legally, as simple as "abortion bans are unconstitutional; we are done with that!" but it is not.
Again, the law is not the only issue here. Here's a free introductory book and materials on the ethical issues that motivate the legal action:

For many years I taught an "Animals & Ethics" course for an educational program sponsored buy the Humane Society of the United States. I later took those materials and created this freely available introductory book:

I made a 15 second video with four poor arguments against abortion, and asked anyone to explain why those arguments are bad. It didn't go well: almost all responses were ineffective. Were they too unrepresentative?
