I'd have to refresh my memory; I think Thomas Fleming has written on Aristotle regarding abortion, but I don't think I'll be able to find that post quickly. I know Aristotle differentiated between abortions taking place before and after the "enlivening" or "quickening" but I don't know if still condemned the former, even if less harshly.

I thought both Plato and Aristotle weren't opposed to abortion, although perhaps for different reasons, no?
