Interesting. How does one determine which is the primary issue? The right of a fetus to be born, or the right for a woman to have autonomy over her own body?
If you believe that the primary value is to see that all fetuses have the opportunity to develop into human beings and be born, that is, by definition, abrogating the woman's right to autonomy over her body.
If a woman's autonomy over her body is the greater value, there will be some fetuses that will never be born. How does one reconcile this?
Phoenix,
You continue to push the misinformation that the unborn's body is the woman's body. It is not.
The unborn has a distinct DNA pattern marking her as an individual. She is not part of the mother, though she is dependent on the mother.
The unborn has her own heartbeat, brainwaves, etc. Read a medical textbook or talk to a neonatalogist. These MDs regard the unborn as a patient, distinct from the mother.
A child is a responsibility, no doubt about it. The mother can give the child up for adoption if she does not wish to raise it, but exterminating the unborn is completely unacceptable.
