[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Up to 75% of all conceptions never make it to term for one reason or another (much of them never even implanting in the uterus). Human reproduction is one of the least efficient modes of procreation in the animal/plant kingdom.  If there is a god who sends a soul into every embryo at the moment of conception, he/she is the biggest abortionist of them all.[/quote]

Exactly.  Can someone clarify, if God is so cavalier about the life of embryos and fetuses, why do we have to hold them up as holding more moral weight than the women whose bodies are their host?[/quote]

Amen.  I think this is what Ruth Bader Ginsburg hints at when she says that she's not a fan of the privacy reasoning that currently supports Roe v. Wade and thinks that support for abortion is just as or more credibly argued as an equality issue.  When women's bodies are systematically subordinated to a cluster of cells, what you are saying is that they are second class citizens whose lives and liberty and pursuit of happiness can never be as important as that cluster of cells.  We are worth less than even the unborn.

As Alice Stone Blackwell said, "It is very little to me to have the right to vote, to own property, etc., if I may not keep my body, and its uses, in my absolute right."

Thank god we have 3 female justices on the Supreme Court and one who is deeply knowledgeable about equal rights.". If RvW is overturned, you can be sure that those three women will issue blistering dissents from the bench.
