You were the one who brought it up by making it sound as if we didn't have the right to decide who lives or dies.

Forgive me, I wouldn't want to suddenly turn the issue of abortion into an emotional and extreme one instead of the dispassionate, purely logical one it has always been.
By the way, only sociopaths make decisions that affect other people's lives without any consideration of human emotion. Some emotions are valid, and some are not. But one must consider them. Saying
blah, blah, blah does not suddenly make pain, defect, rape and incest irrelevant matters.
But, here's my simple, non-emotional arguement:
Babies are born from women who already have rights. Women cannot be enslaved by the state to incubate a fetus they do not want to bear.
And, I could use the same
due process clause of the 14th Amendment to argue why the mother has the right to take the life of the fetus in her womb, as some have tried to use it to take the
life, liberty and property of the mother.
