Posted by New Flyer #857 on Sat Apr 5 12:33:09 2014, in response to Re: US appeals court upholds new Texas abortion rules, posted by Nilet on Fri Apr 4 18:51:34 2014. Abortion is nothing of the sort. It simply removes the connection between the fetus and the woman's body.So who belongs to that connection? Is it neither's body? So if I tried removing your kidney without permission and you woke up halfway through the surgery, you'd have no right to tell me to stop? I'd be perfectly justified in "allowing what already is to finish being" and take your kidney? You haven't accomplished your intended action yet, so because of that I can try to stop it. In the event of a pregnancy, the dependency has already begun and no longer requires the use of force. In that situation, would you or would you not have the right to remove the connection (by force if you must) and walk away? Toss up. Depraved indifference and manslaughter are crimes. It would likely depend on other particular circumstances. Anyway pregnancy can be expected, while this scenario is not. That the parasite/organ robber has successfully initiated the procedure doesn't take away your right to make him stop. Unless it's a human being, and you foresaw that he/she could end up there, and put him/her in a position of dependency on you. Just the way a driver of a car can't kill his passenger by slamming the right side of the car into something, or even just poisoning him, and say it was fine because he owns the car. So does every single one of the billions of cells in your body. Is each one of them a human? Are you committing mass murder every time you take a shower and slough skin cells down the drain to their doom? Been through this before here. No, those cells are not organisms, while once conception occurs, you have an organism. It's not a human. Homo sapiens, perhaps? |
