[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] you are not following. if someone is pro-life, that normally means they think with 100% certainty that the unborn baby is a separate living person. so saving a life is more important than a woman's right to "control". now, the only time it gets tricky is if the life of the mom is in danger if the pregnancy were to continue. in this case I don't think you can make one life more important than another life. but yes, a life > control. [/quote] You can think that a fetus is a separate living person and still have legal abortion. It's been held repeatedly that one person cannot compel another person to provide him/her with bodily resources, even if the first person is the only source of those resources, and even if the second person would die without them. Legally, you cannot compel someone to donate an organ, blood, etc. to another perosn. How is this different?[/quote] The difference is that the fetus isn't compelling anything. Most pregnancies are caused by voluntary actions of the woman. If involuntary because of rape, the fetus is still without fault. I still think early abortion should be legal but I can't see how anyone thinks these questions are easy. They don't analogize to anything else. It is a unique state with unique moral questions.
