If you're pro-life, how far do you take that?
#73
RE: If you're pro-life, how far do you take that?
I find the idea of confining or restraining women monstrous. A woman says she’s going to abort, so she’s restrained. In captivity, she still doesn’t want the child, so she goes on a water fast. Do you force a tube down her throat? Physically strap her down and force feed her? Traumatize and physically torture a woman, stripping her of her personhood so she can act as an incubator?

Likewise simply shrugging off the women who WILL die as simply a casualty strikes me as beyond callous.

Now as a disclaimer I don’t see pre-viability fetuses as people. My opinion on this cannot be changed, because my definition of personhood excludes them just as it excludes the brain dead.
