	Don Marquis: A Non-Religious Anti-Abortion Argument
		The essence of Marquis' reply is that contraception is different from abortion: in the case of contraception there is no particular being whose future is being cut off.
		Marquis tells us that abortion is almost always a very serious wrong -- as serious as killing you or me. But interestingly enough, very few people's intuitions agree -- even those who are firmly against abortion.
		Another indication that we don't fully share Marquis' intuitions is that if he were right, it is hard to see how we could resist the conclusion that the penalty for abortion ought to be the same as the penalty for murder.
