  • has anybody considered the pregnant woman's self-defense against the fe

    humans are animals and it is universal among animals that mothers would be ready to sacrifice themselves for their offspring.

    This imperative is present among human mothers - isn't that sufficient to deal with the abortion question?

    Humans are cultural AND biological beings - human females should have the cultural right to overcome the biological imperative.

    That the fetus might cause her death ought to be a sufficient reason to abort under all circumstances. IF a woman obeys her biological imperative almost till the end, but chickens out (because she is not purely a biological being) - she ought to be able
    to abort.

    Whether abortion is killing is a red herring - self defense laws that are very lax in the South allow casual killing of ADULTS (Trayvon Martin et al.).

    If the pro-choice argument tries for scraps (please allow it up to x weeks) - it will all be lost and the US would revert to barbarianism.
