Thank you for acknowledging that we have a right to our bodies and yes i am pro-choice for that reason. Without the right to our own bodies we have nothing, for someone like me the right to my body means alot. The truth is when it comes down to it you cannot give both the unborn and the woman the SAME rights. No matter how you slice it the woman OWNS her body and she always will. I am sorry but my position is the embryo or fetus does NOT have any rights until it is born or at the very least until viability. I am wiling to give it consideration at viability, but still not THE SAME rights as the woman. Whose rights should supersede is really the issue?
you cannot give both the unborn andthe woman the SAME rights.
Why not? Are they both not human? Is there some other reason that the baby does not have a right to life equal to that of the mother?
I am sorry butmy position isthe embryo or fetus does NOT have any rights untilitis born oratthe very least until viability.
By what logic do you hold this position? Are you also saying that if my body is no longer "viable" you can kill me? If I'm in a coma, can I be killed? I'm not breathing on my own, I barely have any detectable brain function. Shouldn't I be able to be killed, under your logic?
Whose rights should supersede is really the issue?
A valid question: whose rights should supersede? Your right to your body is a right to liberty, and the baby has a right to life.
The right to life always supersedes the right to liberty. Liberty must cede to life where life and liberty intersect.
Without the right to life, we have no rights at all. The right to life is the fundamental right without which no other rights can exist. Therefore, when the right to life and the right to liberty coincide, liberty must give way to life.
