This argument only works if you feel the fetus isn’t a living human (and thus has no rights). However, if you think the fetus is a living human, then saying WOMEN SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE ignores the fundamental right to life the fetus has (trumps right to choose, sorry).
Seriously people, discuss whether or not a fetus is living. That’s the assumption everything hinges on. Everything else is irrelevant.
Yes and no. The major proponent in legislating abortion is a woman’s freedom over her own body. Now the debate comes down to an even more abstract discussion: freedom versus life. It is the ongoing debacle in the justice system to decide which one is more sacred, and for God knows why, they chose viability to be the threshold. Assuming it is biologically imperative for the fetus to grow inside his mother (inviable), then the option for abortion should be available. Or at least, that’s how the justice system views it. And btw, while you say late term abortions are flat out murder, you should hold your tongue. There are countries as in Canada who allow women to commit abortions up until the moment of birth. Shocking isn’t it 😉
