[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Whether you agree with that or not: If you are a conservative, you should be very worried about a regime that thinks it's OK to issue mandates about what happens between a citizen and their doctor. [/quote]
Don't be silly. Remember when health care reform was being debated, and many were up in arms about the mere possibility that an end-of-life discussion was required between a health care provider and a patient? I'm sure none of those people are the same people who think it's perfectly OK for the government to mandate an invasive non-medically required - or even medically helpful - procedure before a woman obtains a perfectly legal medical procedure. They're known the world over for their intellectual consistency.

Right?

Wait, what? You're OK with the government inserting (pun very much intended) itself into your relationship with your doctor and your treatment decisions when you agree with the purpose of the intrusion? I see. [/quote]

Again the issue here is not inserting the government between the  patient and doctor. There is a large population of the US that believes the life begins during the time it is deemed ok to abort. If there is proof that life begins during this time then it is considered a separate life and not controlled by the woman's body.[/quote]

So what if it is?  In my earlier post, I noted that we don't require adults to surrender their bodies for the sake of other living adults, even to save their lives (we don't require blood or organ donations, for example).  Why would we do so here?[/quote]

Interesting argument. So you are stating that if it is alive but because it is not alive on it's own we don't mandate other living adults to save their lives? If the fetus is considered alive then the doctors oath as well as  the law would mandate everything would be done to preserve or save the life.[/quote]

The doctor's oath would absolutely not require forcing the woman to donate her body to sustain the fetus.  Neither would the law.  We don't force, for example, you to donate part of your liver to save Bill Gates.  No doctor would make you, even if Bill Gates would die without it.[/quote]
