And that is exactly the question personhood laws opens up. When should the state step in, should a crack head be imprisoned for 9 months to prevent her from poisoning her fetus? Should a pregnant woman who's a drunk be confined to the county jail to protect her fetus?
So far the government can already dictate the kind of delivery a woman has, and can charge her should she attempt to make her own medical choices. What next?
Last I heard, anyone smoking crack can wind up in jail. When do we take the responsibility of having sex, smoking, drinking or doing drugs? Everything we do has consequences, good or bad, when do we own up to what we do?
I will never accept that the consequences of getting pregnant are giving over the right to my body to the state.
If I want to eat all raw food, get drunk every night, never visit an OBGYN and have a home birth in my bath tub with a witch doctor chanting over me, that's my right, and the state has no fucking business telling me otherwise.
The right takes it open themselves to manage the behavior of everyone they can. They call it being "moral". I call it "Fascism".
