Saving a life is different from moving directly against it.The whole point of the message of the pro-life side is that the fetus should be assigned the same rights as the woman, not extra, and not in a sexist way. There's no reason why anyone who is born should automatically be considered worth more than anyone unborn. A fetus, like a newborn, cannot reason or make a meaningful contribution to society. The same goes for those adults who grow with certain mental disabilities. The argument of bodily autonomy could work, if the fetus was actually a part of the woman's body. And while everyone knows I don't agree with bingbong, I'll take her argument more seriously than the one I'm responding to here. |
