When then did you, for example, begin to exist? At what other point could you have possibly begun to exist other than at the beginning? Do you believe that your mother had, or should have had the right to kill you at some point in your life? If yes, then that view doesn't seem logical to me. It seems self-defeating.
Cordially,
When then did you, for example, begin to exist? At what other point could you have possibly begun to exist other than at the beginning?
My rights to life, liberty & property did not begin until they were capable of being separated from my mothers rights, at viablity. That's the dilemma of abortion.
Do you believe that your mother had, or should have had the right to kill you at some point in your life?
At the early stages, any woman has an absolute constitutional right to refuse to be pregnant, as I understand it. As viabiliy becomes more certain, the state can step in and reasonably regulate abortion, under its 'compelling interest' police powers..
If yes, then that view doesn't seem logical to me. It seems self-defeating.
You refuse to admit that early term abortion is a moral dilemma, one the state has no power to control.
