I'd say it's both a women's rights and a human rights issue. Secrets is right, the debate seems to usually gravitate towards where we draw the line. There are the fundamentalist nutters who oppose stem cell research and won't use birth control... yeah no. I think having a cutoff point is an okay compromise, but it should be a flexible thing in case there are complications involving the woman's life. |
Actually, I see it more in terms of a continuous curve rather than a cutoff point - and that curve goes way beyond birth. To me, before there is sentience and the possibility of pain, any choices are valid. When you have full sentience, you get to make your own choices. Between the two, it's a tradeoff between your interests and the interests of your caretaker that's very situation-dependent - and most women do weigh both parties' interests before deciding whether to continue a pregnancy or not.
