I’m not sure I understand your question. Surely you read the sentence you are referring to? (“…in Greek the malakoi did not refer to gay men but “soft, cowardly, morally weak” people of any gender, i.e. not the effeminate but the profligate)

You wrote “Paul already listed gay men, so he would not list them twice.” Did you mean that he already listed gay men by using arsenokoitai ? So if he already listed them by using arsenokoitai he wouldn’t have listed gay men twice by using malakoi. That’s what you were saying more exactly ?

That’s a great article. Thank you for calling our attention to it!

Hopefully this helps somebody. It was a bit hard to find other good articles, even though i know they are out there.

If you find good examples, please post them here. I can then give the next guy or gal asking this question a more useful answer.

Thanks, I’ll try and check some of those out

It’s been too long since I looked into that. The violinist argument has gained more popularity in the literature, but arguments against it (but that still advocate pro-choice) likely do take the personhood position, so you might try that keyword. But there is too much in the literature now for me to vet it all. See my search on Google Scholar for example. Somewhere in those 46,000 articles is likely stuff on par with my position.

But frankly, if you want the seminal philosophical argument on point, it’s literally Roe v. Wade.

And to be clear, I’m looking for defences of the pro-choice position on the basis of personhood, preferably your model of personhood. I’m asking because your recommendations last time were really helpful.

Thanks

This article is now so much more important. Thank you Dr. Carrier!

That’s bogus. It uses a standard equivocation fallacy to switch between “human cell” and “human person” to produce its results. Which is a violation of logic. Typical irrational antiabortion propaganda.

If you were taken in by that, you need to fix your epistemology, because it’s broken.

If you are actually serious (and not a dishonest troll) I recommend you read a real debate about abortion, not vacuous rhetoric: The Carrier-Roth Abortion Debate.
