- Why? Why is it the business of any "independent party"? Why
- not allow the woman or the couple (if it exists) to make
- decisions about her body? Have you heard of the concept of a
- "right to privacy"?
-
- Would you like this "independent party" to make other decisions
- concerning this woman's body as well? Say, which birth control
- method she should be using, which kinds of treatments she get
- for various illnesses, etc.?
-
- Note that no child is involved in abortion. The woman's
- interests are the only interests to consider. If you feel
- otherwise, you have to prove your case.
