[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]

And that time should be when the baby is viable outside its mother's body.
yes, of course, there is life before that, but "the point when egg meets sperm" is NOT the time to declare "personhood"- 50% of these fertilized eggs do not make it, it is not meant to be.  To declare personhood at conception does not mean one is a conservative, it means one is an idiot.[/quote]

well, "viable outside the mother's body" is a tricky too.  What if you implant the fertilized egg in another woman?  What about advances in prenatal care?  the date of viability keeps going earlier and earlier.  I like that approach, but it is not a good end result for the pro-abortion crowd.[/quote]
