Is bodily autonomy absolute? If so then it should be morally permissible to terminate a viable term fetus immediately before delivery.
If you don't subscribe to that conclusion then bodily autonomy is at the very least not absolute.
I don't argue against late term abortions and have nothing against birth being the deciding line.
OK cool, that's atleast consistent.
Just to be clear, you stated that you have no problem with the late term abortion of a healthy, viable infant at term for any reason correct?
Not trying to trap you or anything, just making sure that's your position.
If it is then I can't argue with your consistency.
My argument with this is obvious. If the infant had been born the day before (exact same infant) it would have full rights but since it is locationally still in the womb then no rights? Then there is nothing fundamental about the fetus allowing it to be a right bearer, rather like real estate it's about location, location, location.
Another hypothetical just to drive a finer point on your position. (not arguing, genuinely clarifying) If a woman was pregnant with twins, I assume you would feel it would be morally justifiable to deliver 1 and terminate the other immediately prior to delivery? Again your morality is your morality, just want to make sure I understand your position.
