- Of course not! Because the mother can get rid of the infant by just
- giving it up for adoption. When you balance the right of an infant to
- live against the right of a mother to not be bothered, it's rather
- obvious that the infant has quite a bit more at stake.
-
- But in abortion, we're balancing the right of a fetus to live against
- the right of a woman to control her own body. If she wants to get rid
- of the fetus, she should certainly be allowed to; it is unfortunate
- that this results in the death of the fetus.
