if a fetus has no soul, and a fetus is not considered a person, Many would say that the first part being true would not logically result in the conclusion that the 2nd is true. Tim

Well..... if a fetus has no soul, and a fetus is not considered a person, then in the war between a woman, her body, the fetus, and the government, the woman MUST win. 1. Two very big ifs. 2. I don't know about must. If a civilization were in a precarious state, maybe after a war or serious plague, and every infant were desperately needed to rebuild the population, the government could win and require every woman to carry every fetus to term. So I can see situations in which the government should win. But in terms of our society today, I basically agree, IF you accept your ifs.
