"The basic argument is whether a fetus has "rights" that should not be violated" Parents make medical decisions beginning at birth, so they make them before birth. For instance, didn't I have a right to keep my foreskin? That decision was taken away from me. Both my rights and my foreskin were violated. "It is coercion and I think it may sometimes be legal but it is almost always wrong. That is, at odds with concepts of freedom." Stop signs and speed limits started coercing you the first time you got behind the steering wheel. That only gave you the illusion of freedom. In reality, you had a whole set of rules, for both you and your vehicle, which chipped away at your freedoms. I was coerced into registering for the draft when I turned 18, right in the middle of a fucking war, that I wanted nothing to do with. Most recently, I was coerced into getting hepatitis shots when I started working at the hospital. I had the freedom to not take the jabs, and to not take the job, but not to do both.
