That is, the moral question shifts from abortion yes or no to who has the right to decide who does and doesn't get born. A much harder question, IMO. Another part which I am waiting on the right case to take to court is whether a man who has gotten a woman pregnant has a right either to demand that the child be aborted or to terminate his parental rights and require the woman, if she chooses to bear the child, to carry all the cost of raising it herself.
