[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, so 16:13 holds true to her stated belief that the full term baby has no rights of its own. [/quote]

Do you really believe that the unborn baby's rights should be protected over the rights of the mother who carries that baby?  Do you really believe the government should be making decisions about our medical care?

They make decisions about our medical care all the time, even when we are the only ones involved. What drugs we can use, how we can get them, etc. Whether a certain procedure is permitted or will be paid for by government-involved healthcare plans.

But, yes, I do think that women do not have 100% control over medical decisions that affect whether a full term baby lives or dies.

Look, I'm even libertarian. I have to assume I am less interested in government regulation than you are or most people on this board. But I also think the full term baby is a person, a person with rights. This has some implications somewhere on the margin; there must be some things that a pregnant mother is not allowed to do to the infant. Your position is that the full term infant has zero rights because the mother must have 100% control. [/quote]
