How, short of totalitarian government agencies, can they control what is in a woman's womb, and when?

I must have flunked biology. I always thought a woman had control over what's in her womb. I hadn't realized that a baby could plant its little self there ex nihilo.

And if the author is making plaintive pleas for "middle ground," let's try this:

1. Overturn the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions.
2. Let the citizens of each state decide these life questions. It's really their prerogative.

I must have flunked biology. I always thought a woman had control over what's in her womb. I hadn't realized that a baby could plant its little self there ex nihilo.

I have always laughed at the argument of "forcing a woman to carry a baby to term makes her a ward of the state". By that logic, forcing you to care for it for 18 years makes you a ward of the state. The lack of logic in these arguments is almost astounding.
