I want to ask a potentially silly question to pro-choicers.
If killing a fetus is not wrong in some way because the fetus is not alive, then do you support the right to bottle the fetus for safe keeping? I know people sometimes do this with their kidney stones when they get removed, and I figure it's a similiar thing, both being just objects.
Just want a quick opinion from a few people.
Edit: One more question.
Plastic surgeons, dentists, medical companies selling drugs can all advertise the pros of their services/products. Should abortion clinics be able to advertise the pros of abortion? As far as surgery goes, it's just another non-life threatening surgery just like plastic surgery is(usually, I know there are exceptions).

The second question is easy to answer. Yes, they should.
The first question I want to answer Yes, but for some strange reason, it just feels wrong. I mean I don't consider it a human life, thus I am ok with the abortion, but keeping it in a jar just seems strange.
I also don't consider a relative that has passed away to be a living person, but having it stuffed and sitting in your living room seems like something I would be against as well.

A relative that has passed away WAS a living person. You also may not kill a relative, but you can remove a fetus. They are not comparable. A fetus is nothing more than an object.
So to bring the first question back to you with that straightened out, why do you feel wrong about the bottling of a fetus?

I understand the purpose of the question.
If I feel abortion is ok because it's just an object, the question is intended to question my belief that a fetus is an object.
I don't think a fetus is an object though. I think it's life, just not human life. I was going to say out of respect, but if you respect it, then it's more then just a insufficient life.
I don't know. It's a really good question. Got me thinking. Not sure it will get me to the point where I am against aborting it, but it definitely is making me think more on the subject.
So yea, my honest answer is out of respect.
