<< Sometimes when the parent is unable or unwilling to meet that responsibility other people step up to meet it. >> Yes, but we are talking about an embryo or a fetus, not a living child. So, if we are going to demand protection for embryos or fetuses, and a woman doesn't want to act as the host, and...... if we are going to afford equal rights to both the woman and the embryo, then we have got to find other methods of providing hosts for unwanted embryos and fetuses. There is no other way, unless we want to have politicians force women to be hosts. Once our politicians get the power to force women to be hosts for unwanted growing items, our politicians don't have to go too much further to want women to host body parts, such as livers, kidneys, hearts, etc. It is not only possible, but plausible. Sounds too hard to believe? It wasn't that long ago in this country that religious leaders convinced political leaders to hang women as witches. The Reagan White House read tea leaves, and Carter depended upon religious dogma to determine policy.
