You have the right to your opinion, no matter how wrong it is. A mother's right to security from rape and incest and to life and health supersede that of a fetus to come to full term.
Sorry, dave, that's the law, both secularly and morally.
We weren't discussing those extreme examples, we're talking about abortion on demand. I would never want to see a law that required women to have a child when doing so would put her life or health in serious jeopardy anymore than I would expect someone who can't swim to jump in a pool to try to save a person who was drowning.
Now can you please explain where my opinion is so wrong?
Jake I will ask again, why is it that I am wrong? What makes you think that a baby growing inside a pregnant woman is actually a part of that woman? This idea lends itself readily to pithy little 5 second TV soundbites but no scientist, doctor or court has ever made such a ridiculous claim.
I have explained clearly several times that you are thinking is simplistic at best. The fetus, if conceived by rape or incest, or if it threatens the health and life of the mother, ethically and legally (in most cases, in the latter), the mother's need takes precedence. As such, only she can decide. No one else. Certainly not you.
