Habermas' Paradigms

     In class today we participated in an activity in which we described a phenomenon within human sexuality according to one of Habermas’ Paradigms. I chose to talk about abortion from the situational interpretive paradigm. I found this activity very useful as a way to deepen my understanding of Habermas’ Paradigms, and I thought I would share my activity on this blog. This isn’t necessarily my own opinion, just an extreme example.
     Abortion should not be an individual choice. A fetus is a person as soon as sperm meets egg. It is unfair for any person to decide for a baby if it should live or die, because it cannot speak for itself. Though it may be difficult for women who become pregnant unexpectedly, they made a choice when they became pregnant that they now have a responsibility to follow through with.
