[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is the potential for life. It is not a human being.

I could lay before  you the million parts that make an automobile. But that is not a car, even though every piece that would make it a car is there.

The baby inside the mother is alive. Only a human baby can develop inside a human woman.

At the moment of fertilization, an unborn baby possesses all the DNA-coded information it needs to be and is a totally separate person. At conception, “ethnicity, hair color, eye color, and other traits are already determined.” [/quote]

Here's the deal, Jan. Every pregnancy has the potential to kill or maim the woman who gestates it. EVERY. SINGLE. PREGNANCY.

Every single pregnancy is work. Women's bodies work to gestate those fetuses into people. It is unpaid labor that can kill the mother, cause her to miss out on months of work, cause her to be violently ill, cause her to lose a uterus, cause her to crack a tailbone, cause her to need her body to be sliced open through her abdomen. Never mind the work that beings once the baby is in the world.

So yes, when it comes down to it, the woman who is donating her body and labor to gestate a fetus into a baby gets to determine if she is willing to do that work and if she is willing to face the potentially hazardous consequences of doing that work. Every single time, it is HER prerogative. She has to be the willing actor in every pregnancy. [/quote]
