Reply to Wójtowicz on Evictionism

Wójtowicz argues that when a person puts another in danger, he owes the latter the obligation to help him. He maintains that by creating a fetus, the mother is placing him in a state of peril. Therefore, she is obligated to protect him. How so? By bringing him to term after a full nine months of pregnancy. Therefore, my theory of evictionism is erroneous, since I maintain the mother has a right to evict her pre-born baby at any time during her pregnancy.

Abstract

Wójtowicz argues that when a person puts another in danger, he owes the latter the obligation to help him. He maintains that by creating a fetus, the mother is placing him in a state of peril. Therefore, she is obligated to protect him. How so? By bringing him to term after a full nine months of pregnancy. Therefore, my theory of evictionism is erroneous, since I maintain the mother has a right to evict her pre-born baby at any time during her pregnancy.
