If a woman should never have to give up her bodily autonomy in favor of the fetus how can you justify criminalizing late-term abortions?
When did I say I'd criminalize them.?
If you don't want to outlaw late-term abortion then you'll have to present your justification.
If a woman should never have to give up her bodily autonomy in favor of the fetus then what middle ground do you feel you are offering?
You cannot say that a woman should never have to give up her bodily autonomy in favor of the fetus and also say that you're offering middle ground. They are mutually exclusive statements.
I'm not even going to bother anymore. I've outlined this for you more then once, explained why they aren't mutually exclusive and outlined what I think bodily autonomy for the woman is in the case of abortion. However you keep ignoring all of what I said and repeating the same thing over and over again because you don't like that I won't give you the answer you want.
Women are currently forced to keep it inside if they are too far along to abort. Is this unfair in your view?
Yes.
I have shown that they are so there's that.
Except you haven't. At all.
Well I pretty much outlined what I think the law should to Rusha but personally I think they're unnecessary given that the fetus could be delivered alive and turned over to the hospital at no inconvenience to the mother.
It's a terrible analogy. If a woman is beyond week X she is obligated to let the fetus use her organs to sustain itself, legally speaking.
That depends on the state.
Do you find this unfair as well?
Yes.
And, if she died (completely not just brain dead) the fetus would die as well.
It's possible for you to be forced to choose between aborting or the mother survival. For example, women with cancer that need chemotherapy. Should they be denied chemo until they give birth?
Why is abortion okay to save the mother's life?
I told you what I think the law should be, feticide. She deserves to be charged with feticide if she self-aborts. The sentence would depend on a variety of factors that I had previously laid out. Does she have a prior criminal record? How did she abort? Did she confess? Did she reject a plea deal with the DA? et al.
How about this, She's 19, no prior criminal record and rejected a plea deal with the DA. She was 5 weeks pregnant and aborted by ordering mifepristone of the internet.
You're the judge. How many years?
Also, if you were the DA what kind of plea deal would you give her?
I am content with the charge of feticide. If a drunk driver hits a car and the pregnant woman in that car loses her 4 week old fetus, what, if anything, should the driver be charged with?
Whatever a person would usually be charged with if they seriously injured someone in a drunk driving accident. I don't believe they should be charged with "murder" if that's what you're asking.
I don't think feticide should even be a charge.
I already have...repeatedly. I would charge them with feticide. I believe it is feticide so that is what I would charge them with. If a woman hires a hitman to kill another woman's baby, I would charge them both with......:idea: feticide
Around how many years should she get? Is the death penalty a possibility?
What if she hires a hitman to shoot her newborn in the face? What should the charge be then? Again, why not murder? You do believe abortion is murder correct? Why are you content with feticide if these women are no different then people who murder their newborns?
So killing a fetus is different then killing a born child? The murder of a fetus isn't as important as the murder of a living person?
