Having a right to your body does not entail the right to compel others to laud your choices, either on a cate blanche, or an an individual basis." "On the unlikely chance that you agree with me that her body is hers, then the question arises as to whether everything from the tip of her nose to her ideas to her islets of langerhans actually ARE her body and not someone elses. I believe the fact is self revealing, although some hold a contrary opinion." You're right, it's hers and hers alone, no one is responsible except her. However in reality you and I pay for her yanked fetuses and her kids."Certainly, we know that parts of what we consider her body But society clearly needs some fundamental axioms to stake the future of individuals on if the existence of individuals by right is to remain beyound the vagaries of the collective vote." Nonsense, under our current system(s) in North America we have less and less rights than we did 100 years ago. I don't care if the fetus is human or has a soul. I agree it's her business to kill it, not mine or yours. But certainly her morality should not be imposed via taxation on Chris Land by your feelings or the sanction of a Federal bureaucracy.
