You're an idiot. That's a human being undergoing a natural life process. Parasite....please.

Oh indeed. And since when is being a parasite or not being a parasite, per se, a recognizable condition in law that deprives you of rights? The typhoid bacilli has been around a lot longer than a human fetus, and being infected with typhus is every bit as natural a biological fate as being fecund with a human fetus.

[Quester]

The typhoid bacilli is an INTRUDER in the human body. The human body was NOT designed to house and sustain the typhoid bacilli. The typhoid bacilli is an outsider, which, when successful in entering the body, TAKES what it needs from the body, in total disharmony with human bodily function. The human body responds to this invasion by mobilizing and commisioning its defenses against the invader. A battle is enjoined, and, either, the typhoid bacilli is overwhelmed, destroyed and eliminated by the body's defenses, or the body's functioning is compromised by the continued presence of its invader, even unto the point of its death.

OTOH, when the fetus implants itself on the especially prepared inner lining of the uterus, the woman's body responds by inducing bodily changes and marshalling resources to SUSTAIN and DEVELOP the fetus. The fetus TAKES NOTHING from it's host. All its needs are 'lovingly' GIVEN to it by the host, for the purpose of sheltering, nourishing, and developing the fetus to the point where the fetus is delivered, by it's host, to a new stage in its, now, approximately 9-month old life.

The fetus has not taken control of any measure of it's host's bodily function, as does a virus. The fetus is simply there, developing itself, while the host caters to its needs. It is a one-sided symbiosis ... one living organism nurturing and providing for another, in exactly the way it has been designed to do.
