You seem to be thinking of a fetus as a moral subject.Agreed I misused the term, correction appreciated. However still a little pedantic and does not really address the nature of my question. I will change my terminology in the future

As soon as I get a copy I'll take their stake in all this a hell of a lot more seriously. In the meantime I'd suggest that those who have no standing in the decision but still feel distraught find a way to chill out.Not really sure what you are talking about. If you feel a fetus is not a moral SUBJECT then fine my arguement does not stand on its own. As I have already conceded, this is more a question for those who do accept the premise by feel that a woman's autonomy trumps, like a continue to say. Please read my statements. I'm genuinely trying to have a rational discussion but the internet keeps proving that the lowest common denominator wins out
Also, if he requirement to publish a manifesto is a requirement for human rights as you imply or to be a moral subject, then does any group that cannot not have these rights or be considered a moral subject? Is that a required part of te criteria? If not then how bout you chill out and try to be consistent and if it is then please justify why a person in a coma, under anesthesia , Etc loses their status
You can propose an argument based on whatever premises you want, but if you can't justify why you draw those premises in the first place then you're kind of tilting at windmills here.
