The last two sections of the synthesis chapter argue that golden-rule consistency forces us into an anti-abortion view. It claims that most people won't be consistent if they hold that abortion is normally permissible -- since they won't consent to the idea of themselves having been aborted in normal circumstances. But this argument, even if it succeeds at what it tries to do, still leaves some of the details fuzzy.
