[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so if you have a 3 week old, why can you choose to not care for it or feed it?[/quote]

Sigh.  I knew 14:38 was an outlier.  [/quote]

She (or he) is not necessarily making sense, I know (I'm the 14:38 pp), but really what she/he is trying to say (in an inarticulate way) are reasons why we should agree to expand the social contract to say it's for the greater good, in our society, to say:  we do not abort unborn babies.  Her reasons include:

1)  What is so different between an unborn baby and one who is born just a mere 3 weeks?  Of course one is inside and one is out, but both are very dependent upon the mother (or another caretaker) and can in no way live independently.
2)  Personal choice does not  determine "the good."  Just because one chooses it, does not necessarily make it right.  There is a greater moral universe dictating what is "good" than mere personal choice.  Just like we as a society have banded together to agree that we will all abide by certain standards of conduct ("we will not kill," "we will not steal," we will not crash our cars into one another,", etc.) and, by doing so, we cede personal choice in these matters, we can apply this to the issue of abortion as well, and stipulate an agreed upon code of behavior that says: we do not kill unborn babies.  Not:  we leave it up to you to decide whether you want to kill an unborn baby.
