I argue that David Boonin has failed in his attempt to undermine Donald Marquis's future-like-ours argument against abortion. I show that the ethical principle advanced by Boonin in his critique to that argument is unable, contrary to what he claims, to account for the wrongness of infanticide. Then I argue that Boonin's critique misrepresents Marquis's argument. Although there is a way to restate his critique in order to avoid the misrepresentation, the success of such restatement is precluded by the wrongness of infanticide.
我认为，大卫·博宁试图削弱唐纳德·马奎斯反对堕胎的“像我们一样的未来”论证的尝试失败了。我指出，与他所声称的相反，博宁在对该论证的批判中提出的伦理原则无法解释杀婴行为的错误性。然后我论证说，博宁的批判歪曲了马奎斯的论证。尽管有一种方法可以重新表述他的批判以避免这种歪曲，但这种重新表述的成功因杀婴行为的错误性而被排除。
