Abstract

ON THE BIAS have contended that on extreme ends of a Philosophers long positions to Current continuum tend events reveal numerous converge. examples of this Of to women is the seeming paradox. particular significance that concerns paradox reproductive rights. Two in common and groups having nothing representing apparently are out scenarios that result in the opposing ideologies acting ultimately same end. Fundamentalists who for the to life in campaign support right of antiabortion are women’s to choose. legislation firmly against right Radical who are in a woman’s to feminists, equally strong espousing right are means artificial insemination and choose, finding through turkey basters to become impregnated. an The of these two alliance convergence opposite positions represents that neither could either believe or the However, group acknowledge. social of both sets of behaviors is the same: more babies consequence to the World warn of contributing population explosion. demographers dire for the unless we find means to control problems planet population Economists that the women and children 2000, growth. predict by year under 18 will constitute the of those in world- age majority living poverty wide. It is ironic that should be the central for such issue reproductive rights different And it is to that, diametrically viewpoints. unsettling recognize all rhetoric both extremes the same outcome aside, produce by imposing a similar burden on society.
