Recently several individuals have made clear that they share the idea that "if a woman becomes pregnant, she is obligated to carry the pregnancy because it was a risk she took when she had sex."

The pro choice (not pro-abortion) position on the topic is this:

Even if a woman has sex knowing that pregnancy is a possible outcome, it is inviolably her *choice* whether or not to carry the pregnency.

And the argument against is that the child had no part in making the choice. Sorry, this really isn't going to deflate any pro-life arguments. Both sides are weak (pro-life = baby has soul and pro-choice = baby isn't really a baby.. :rolleyes: )

Neither are compelling to me.

I think maddox had the right idea on this. Anti-abortion and pro- killing kids, works for everyone!

Its not baby isn't a baby. It is that the mother's rights outweight any possible interest the state has.
