Whether you would agree to do it or not is irrelevent. People should not be forced into a situation whereby their body is used for another's benefit without their consent.


well ok, then you now agree that unless it was caused by rape abortion is wrong?

CONFUSING ME!
please if you really think its a good point spell it out to me.
how is the woman being violated
and what do youmean autonomy? i understand it to mean something like
'the capacity of a rational individual to make an informed, un-coerced decision'

Bodily autonomy: The right to make your own decisions concerning your body and the use thereof.
By violating that I mean someone else preventing you from making your own decisions concerning your body and the use thereof.

It is immoral/unethical to remove someone's right to choose what to do with their own body. Do you agree or disagree?

No. Abortion, when chosen freely by the woman in question, is never wrong.

No-one is talking about having sex. We're talking about being pregnant and whether or not women should have the final say in whether or not to have an abortion.

The "forced into it" was in reference to a woman being forced to keep a pregnancy that she does not wish to continue.

Consent to sex is not consent to pregnancy unless you can prove that women are impregnated every time they have sex.

I have no opinion on drug laws. I have never taken any other what has been perscribed by a doctor. I know people who have illigally smoken weed, and cigarettes underage, but I have never had an opinion on it myself.

Really, those should be repealed, both as a matter of individual liberty and practicality.

I was addressing only that line, and only that, the things before are in material
At some point "it" will feel pain, intense pain the likes I which can only be imagined.
I'm not gonna quibble with definitions, as that seems pointless, alive/not alive, Person/not person, Baby/Parasite...all seems rather irrelevant to me.

ya

but when the fetus IS old enough to feel pain ... some time past 20 weeks of development.... aboritons are done for dire need only.

i dont find it important to force parents to bring babies with devastating birth defects into the world. or to risk the woman's life so that her baby can be born.
whatever

Yes, actually you can. See my post about justifiable homicide.
The foetus (not being a person) is incapable of making choices, and even if it was it would not have the right to violate a person's bodily autonomy.

It doesn't have the mental faculties to make decisions, but if it did, it has the right to do whatever it wants with its own body, but not anyone else's. It has no more right to her body than I have to yours.

I'd prefer you didn't.

On the other hand, if you can actually manage it I wouldn't be in any position to oppose it since I wouldn't actually be a person yet.

Then I consider your position immoral.
