What right is she losing the ability to do to her body?

well they can, but it would violate our rights (in most circumstances. i'm sure there is some random arse exception or one could be created, like how Roe v. Wade created a right to abortion out of thin air)


Given that, a pregnant woman's rights are violated when the state demands she give up her bodily autonomy and carry a fetus to term regardless of her wishes.

Why do you support one intrusion of rights at the expense of a human life, but not another?

No

The state just demands that she not commit murder for convenience

What right is violated by not being able to kill another homo sapien with DNA different than that of the mother?

Agreed. You should go re-read your link then, because it applies to the baby too.

Thanks for playing

A pregnant woman's rights SHOULD be violated when she is carrying her 5th soon to be welfare dependent kid and expecting errrone else to pay for it, don't you agree?

Why? Because the childs right to life trumps the mothers "right" to convenience.

Republicans are definitely "all about" small government. One of the roles of government, small or otherwise, is the protection of life of its citizens.

But, but BamaAtl said not viable... Hmmm, seems to not be viable then either. This is so interesting.

Waiting on the goal posts to be moved yet again.

that's a straw man

you're mad that women are the only ones who get pregnant. fine. nobody posting in this thread created that pardigm

your issue is with that entity/process, not "the state" and not "Republicans"

Risks of going to term is a different matter, and it's already been said by me and others that making an exception for the life of the mother is a reasonable exception.


There are many risks to pregnancy that fall short of death for the pregnant woman.

Who's rights to bodily autonomy are violated if your child continues living?
