the other side of the argument is that the fetus should have the right to live also, it's not only about the mother, it's about the baby that she has created accidentaly, even though she knew it was a possibility when she decided to have sex. |
true, but the fetus is a part of the mother. giving birth is a biological event that happens to her. whether or not a fetus could be considered a human or not, the mother is the host. like all things in nature, a host determines whether its parasite (for the lack of a better word) lives on. the mother is already a breathing and free thinking being. you cannot put the interests of something that has neither the capacity to survive on its own, yet alone think and feel, before the wishes of someone who can. it isnt logical.
