But in no other case do you have such a case where to entities are not separate... so to disucss other legal examples is not nearly as relevant as you presume. BUT, even in all those other cases "CONTEXT" is very important... ""what was the relationship of the murdered and murderer and what conditions were prevailing?" In this situation those questions take on a whole different level of importance.

<The process in this case isn't what decision will be made in a particular unwanted pregnancy, its over whether fetuses are considered to have human rights or not. >

If one considers that the woman and fetus are not separate then the rights are also not separate. It sounds nice to separate the two, but of course (even literally) you cannot. Especially in very early developement that assertion makes no sense. It would be nice if things were so simple.

<And the "legal or not" decision is itself a separate decision from the decisions about 1 - Whether to have an abortion or not when there is an unwanted pregnancy, or 2 - Who gets to have input in to that decision and how much input to they get. >

How can it be a separate decision in todays world that we are discussing (not a case where reproduction is a communal decision)?? It sounds like you WANT it to be a separate decision?
