A woman must have, if our founding principles mean anything, the sovereignty over her own body. ... Should she have sovereignty over someone elses body, even though that other HUMAN BEING's name is not yet known? I ask because seldom will defendants of the rape exception address this issue.

A time is coming and will soon arrive when a conceived human being implanted in the tissue of a woman's body can be removed from her body and placed in an artificial womb until birth age. Until that time, how will we as human beings address the right to life of the alive unborn other human being?

“Until that time, how will we as human beings address the right to life of the alive unborn other human being?”

The only sensible rule, when two parties’ rights are in conflict and the conflict cannot be resolved without harming one party or the other, is to choose the course which does the least amount of harm.

So, on the one hand, we have certain death for the infant, if we choose to allow abortion, and on the other hand, we have less than certain death for the mother if we don’t choose to allow abortion. Therefore, abortion does more harm, and we must choose the alternative.
