This position is either incredibly circular or deeply Calvinist.

Professor argues that aborted fetuses lack a moral status because they have no future since they are going to be aborted.

Probably the former since the Calvinist position takes the decision of moral status out of the hands of the person making the decision and places it in the hands of a voluntarist God.

You have to wonder about intellectuals like this who create such an obviously fallacious intellectual system to justify an end like abortion.  Does it never occur to them that the same argument could be used to justify the Holocaust? After all, if fetuses who will be aborted lack a moral status because they have no future, what is to stop an antisemite from saying that Jews lack a moral status because they have no future?

That must be what comes from living in an echo chamber.
