Is Abortion Morally Acceptable to Save the Life of the Mother? – Prof. Steven Jensen

Prof. Steven Jensen presents several arguments in favor of the conclusion that the life of a fetus has intrinsic human dignity on account of what a human being is and not merely as an effect of psychological or cognitive capacity, ultimately concluding that the intentional killing of a fetus as a means to save a mother's life is morally impermissible.

This lecture was given on February 19th, 2026, at North Dakota State University.
