When you strip it of its fancy titles given to the state, it is just a group of people. What gives them the right to use force to compel people to do things against their will?
Ill be honest, I'm against abortion. But as an individual I should have absolutely zero authority over someone else' body. Who the hell am I to forcefully stop person X what they want to do with their body? The same should apply to the very few men who proclaim to be the 'state'.
The right to self ownership is the absolute right of every human being. And by this, every woman "owns" her body. Every man and woman is free to control their own bodies without forceful interference.
I have already touched upon this in another thread, but for arguments sake lets say we all conclude that every man and woman "owns" their own body. Now, hanibal has stated that the child's life is more important that freedom and society. However, the natural rights of the mother is to claim the absolute authority of her OWN body. If the mother does get an abortion she is removing an unwanted part within her body. Even if the mother wanted to have the child up until the day before the abortion, it means zero. Nil. Zilch. The mother "owns" her own body and can do whatever she wants with any part of her own body. To claim that the state now owns a portion of the every female body is totalitarian of the highest order......
Again, every person has the right to choose. Propagate against abortion as much as you can/want. BUT, leave the individual free to decide what is best for her own body.
is the child not human 24 hours before it is out of the womb?
what soemone does with their body is their business, but in this unique case, is the child not a living being.. a sentient being..
and in doing so, are you making a decision ntot o just do something to your body but also to someone else's body.
just food for thought, and for discussion :)
