[QUOTE]Originally posted by Zefram: [QB] [QUOTE]As to "entitlement", it's her body and (as defined by both science and national law) the thing growing in her is not "a person" for quite some time after conception.[/QUOTE]The fetus is a genetically unique individual and, without any further active input from the parents, grows into a fully developed infant capable of living outside of the womb. The baby may be connected to the mother and drawing nutrients from her, but it's an otherwise self-contained system and not really the mother's body anymore. [QUOTE]After all, it's the menfolk making the decisions as to weither the woman should have the child.[/QUOTE]Women typically participate in the creation of a child too, so it's not as if whether or not they conceive one is decided by just the man. Also, there is no great schism between men and women's opinions regarding abortion: the percentage of men who support abortion is nearly identical to the percentage of women who support abortion. [QUOTE]In the same way women are entitled to any other medical procedure...[/QUOTE]Abortion is [i]not[/i] just "any other medical procedure". Gall bladder surgery, cancer removal, face lifts, etc. do not snuff out a developing human life. [/QB][/QUOTE]
