When This Blows Over

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the
consent of the Owner. Solider=fetus / House=uterus. Better than the
slavery analogy.

Everybody wants fewer abortions; I think we can all agree on this.
So, more contraceptives, Sex Ed, and proper education about how
to have good relationships would help. The irony is that the
religious pro-lifers are often against these measures... Also,
clapping and cheering on politicians who proclaim pro-choice at
rallies is a bad idea... you know the other side thinks you're
cheering on baby killing...not a good image...

On the later point. Bill says it comes down to one question: "is it a person
...or not"? This is out of context. They are both entities. Both human
entities. But what of actual development and potential development? How
much of a person is a human cell at the point it has split into two? Not
much of a "person", but definitely a potential person. Why afford the same
rights to a two-cell entity that are given to a multicell, conscious being who
is able to sustain its own independent life? At the end, Bill makes the
comparison to slaves. A slave is an actual person, whereas a fetus is a
potential person. This is a not comparing apples with apples.

I consider the unborn baby a person. I also consider that person to
be an aggressive person in active attack against the mother. That
unborn person is sucking nutrients from the mother, causing the
mother pain and discomfort. Risking the mother's life during the
birth process. So yes that unborn child is a person, but the mother
has the right to self defense against that person.

In the same sense, the mother is potentially trying to abort the baby. So, by
your logic, the baby has the right to defend itself against the mother. And it was
the mother who caused the baby to start becoming a person in the first place.
