LOLOL! Funniest post of the day. (I know it was by accident) THANKS! Here is the CORRECT argument. Case 1: parent and 5 year old child. case 2: parent and 3 mos old fetus. Case 1- child needs bone marrow transplant from parent to survive. Parent refuses (dead beat dad or whatever). Child dies. What do we do to parent? Answer NOTHING. Case 2- parent and 3 mos old fetus. Fetus needs parent to survive. parent refuses and has an abortion. How is case 2 different than case 1? It ISN'T at least in a legal setting and that is why most abortion cases focus on outlying procedures and parental consent. This basic issue of human rights and violating one persons rights for another is clear in our society. We do not violate one persons rights in favor of another. Abortion will always be legal unless one particular state decides to enact stricter rules and all the people support it so it never gets brought to the higher courts. End of discussion

Case 2 is different from case 1 in that something actively harmful is done to the fetus's body. I think you might be wrong about case 1 also. What if a parent of a 5 year old child witholds necessary medical care or food or simply abandons the child? Do we do nothing? No, we don't do nothing. Its a crime. Certainly if a parent of a 5 year old does something harmful to the child's body, it is definately a crime. The case of bone marrow transplantation may be different legally. Legal research would be needed to ascertain that.
