[quote=Anonymous]So, what's a "term" baby? 37 weeks? Under your logic, babies could be allowed to be born at home at 36 weeks and 6 days then? That would make sense? Or would they have the "right" to hospital care at earlier points of gestation? If so, how early are you suggesting we give fetuses these "rights"? Where do you draw the line? Conception? Potential for conception? Oral contraceptives should therefore be illegal because babies have the "right" to potentially be born, but only in hospitals, huh?

Again, this is about women's rights. Stripping them of options and making certain things "illegal" because of the opinions (read: pocketbooks) of obstetricians is insane. The woman should be the only decider when it comes to decisions about her reproductive health, whether she wants to give birth with an OB or if she wants her mom to catch the baby in the comfort of her own bedroom. If you start giving "term babies" the "right" to a hospital birth, you're going down a slippery slope.[/quote]
