Do you think the abortion argument "Don’t tell me what to do with my body" is valid ?
December 162009
It is a tricky one, not meant to be a pro/anti abortion question, rather a legal one. How is a fetus considered to be a part of someones body ? For one thing, it contains genetic material from another person. Doesn’t this make it its own body ? Which just happens to be relying on its host ? Consider this: abortion is allowed to 18 weeks. A surrogate is implanted with a viable fetus, with no binding legal agreement. The fetus grows to be the equivalent of 17 weeks old. She decides to have an abortion. Is it her body that is affected ?
No.
1. It isn’t her body the fetus has its own DNA and different than the mother’s body.
2. We have not problem regulating what to do with your body: We accept when to wear safety belts, what kind of food we can eat, all sorts of medical procedures are regualted, the list goes on.
Viablity according to Pro-choice is not valid either. They believe that at anytime during any part of the pregancy the woman can choose to end it without question or regualtion.
Look at the fight over the partial birth abortion ban and when the court rule it was consitutional it was case of sour grapes when they said it doesn’t matter. However, they expect all of us to forget the firestorm they raise when they bill was past.
If someone would seriously look at the numbers you find out the MARJORITY believes that abortion should have some kind of regulation, but the far edges of both sides keep pushing to the point where comprise is next to impossible.

There are laws against what we can and cannot put into our bodies, so the argument is invalid.

Your logic is warped.
You cannot force a woman to give birth if she doesn’t want to give birth. Only SHE can make the decision…..
That is the end of the debate……period!
