If you cause a car accident and another person invoves needs your blood or one of your organs, they can't take anything without your consent. And please don't start the whole punishing women for having sex crap. We're allowed to have sex. It's none of your business.(December 8, 2013 at 5:29 pm)NoraBrimstone Wrote: Well, I liken this way of putting it:
There is one crucial point missing here. The fetus is not there through choice, but rather through the actions of the mother. So you could infer the permission to use her body for support, as she got pregnant. The mother gave her permission implicitly by committing the act that caused the pregnancy (this particular avenue would not apply to a rape case, however. But, the fetus should not be considered there as of choice)
