- In a thread he no doubt can't follow at all, cobb@alexia.lis.uiuc.edu
- (Mike Cobb) blurts out another inanity:
-
- >Could someone please explain why it is not "violating her [or his] right to
- >bodily autonomy" when we kill the fetus?
- >
- In order to have bodily autonomy, it is first necessary to be a
- person. Would you care to take a stab at providing evidence that a
- fetus is a person? Please ensure that this evidence is scientific, not
- emotional, and that it is supported by reputable peer-reviewed texts.
- And while you're at it, demonstrate why you think any theoretical
- bodily autonomy of the fetus should supercede that absolute bodily
- autonomy of the mother.
