I'm amazed that you actually believe that pregnancy can be FORCED upon Women, ethnic cleansing style!

'Society' has NO right to CRIMINALIZE a Woman's Unalienable Right to Unilateral Management of Her Biological Material, Her Reproductive Organs, and the Products of those Organs ...[ie, Fetal tissue, Uterine tissue, OVUM, OVARIAN tissue, Fallopian tissue, Embryo's, etc.]

These tissues are Sole Property, The Private Property of the Female Individual.

Your 'burning building analogy' is a construct of your subjective experience and your apparent need to control other people's, specifically Womens bodies. I see no way to compare a [born] child in a burning building with a child that's connected to the Receiving End of an Umbilical Cord.

You assume that the contents of a Womans Body is Not Her Own...LoL!

The Constitution disagrees with you.

This is where you Err.

After Birth, the Umbilical Cord is Severed and the Neonate, no longer on 'life support' in the Host Mother, becomes an Individual with Individual Rights.

It's not the 'humanity' of the Unborn, it's about the Biological Viability of the Unborn.

"If it most resembles parasitism, than there may be something to permitting a right to terminate support, although it is not clear that it would extend absolutely."

Gestation is completely unique...beyond comparison...it does not resemble anything but Gestation...LoL!



"...the point that "gestation involves a bit more than 'caretaking': the relationship is not purely parasitic, as the woman is built for it, and normally thrives in the process."

You say, "built for it"...that explains the 'burning building' notion...

[Unbelievable.]
