I see Akuma has provided some quality answers, so I will keep it concise. 

A woman is not guaranteed that right because a fetus is property. She is guaranteed that right because her right to privacy, which the court decided guaranteed a right to an abortion, supercedes a fetus' right to life up until a certain point. Also, simply because a fetus is viable does not mean it has an automatic right to life. It only means the state can restrict a woman's right to an abortion so long as her health is not threatened.  

That was poorly worded. What I meant is that the court ruled that a restriction on abortion violates a woman's right to privacy and, therefore, she has a right to terminate the pregnancy. A man's right to privacy is not violated by a restriction on abortion. Which right is violated? I cannot think of one. 

Science has disproven what? A baby is a baby? That makes no sense. I know science postulates that a fetus cannot feel pain until it is born. From what I can gather, the jolt that birth provides to a fetus is what truly marks its inclusion into the human species. 

 

no it doesnt...

Hey MrBubbles, my uncle still has tactile perception on the left half of his body but he can't feel any sensation of warmth or cold on the left side of his body.  What is wrong with him?  What part of his nervous system has suffered an occlusion which has caused this loss of sensation?

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
