Sorry, I mean that, if she pursues activities that she knows usually end up terminating a pregnancy, that seems to be effectively the same as terminating.

As for the argument here on who should give up rights, I posit that it makes more sense for her to give up her rights than for her to take someone else rights, being as they are not her rights.

But the fetus would be taking her rights as well in that scenario so it seems like an endless cycle on that one.

his isn't a woman giving up her rights, that's what she might do if given the choice, this is a governing body taking away her rights.  What she should do is different to what we should force her to do.  


The fetus isn't actively doing anything, however.  That, I think, is the critical difference.  The mother has to act in order to violate its rights, whereas the fetus can't do anything at all.

But perhaps I'm getting off my initial point.  I'm attempting to demonstrate that a pro-lifer could sincerely hold this line of reasoning, not so much if it's actually correct or not.
