A fetus is not that innocent. Its need for another's body in early pregnancy makes its claim to life subject to the consent of the mother. No one has the right to appropriate another's body for its own purposes, without consent of the latter. See - US Constitution, the rights of individuals to be secure in their persons.

You want rapists to force women to endure pregnancy and childbirth. Do you know what you're asking?

Your radical ignorant view of the matter leaves no room for common sense and the Constitution.

Once again you ignore the salient point. The fetus HAD NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER. 99.99% of the time the MOTHER INVITED THE FETUS INTO HER WOMB BY CONSENTING TO SEX. In other words, she gave the consent when she agreed to engage in the activity that would ultimately produce the life. Once that life exists, she cannot then turn around and say oops, sorry I changed my mind.

And your constant repetition of the bogus rapist argument will not make it any more pertinent. You don't base ANY law on something that occurs less than .05% of the time, especially when it is a life and death decision.

And you don't determine the existence of life on an individual's level of dependence. By your argument, we could take a fish out of water, lay it on the sidewalk, and when it dies say "see, it was never alive because it couldn't survive without water". It's a faulty argument because you know that the fish was indeed alive.
