Lets say that life worthy of the protection of the state does in fact start at conception.

Grant the pro-lifeers the idea that there is no relevant difference, in terms of benefits of applicable rights, between a one day old fetus and a six year old child.

Ready? Go!

Manslaughter: The unintentional death of another person caused by your hand.

Any time a woman miscarries she is guilty of man slaughter.

That means anything from a trip to the spa to a fall down the stairs to a glass of wine to problems with her. It all falls under the rubric of manslaughter. If we don’t let people who accidentally kill people with their cars off the hook, there seems no reason to let a pregnant women get away with the accidental death of her unborn child, right?

Uh oh pro-lifers, sounding like a shitty deal yet?

Paternalism: the policy of restricting the freedom and responsibilities of subordinates or dependents in their supposed best interest.

Since it is in your best interest to not go to jail for manslaughter, and we have already placed the right of a fetus to survive over the right a woman has to do as she pleases with her body (thus eliminating any sort of protection from a libertarian ideal), it seems the government could then justify use the coercive arm of the state to monitor her actions. All activity that may potentially harmful to the child, (going in a spa, not exercising, working to hard not eating right) will result in warrant jail time under a child endangerment offense. This probably extends to men caring for women, demanding that they also do everything in their power to assure that women are not put in positions where a miscarriage might occur. This might constitute a sort of mandatary system where a man was forced to provide for a woman carrying his child, even if he has chosen to not share a residence with her. Remember, that’s not just mandatary care for his child, but the woman carrying his child as well, even though they may not have been married.

Slave: A person who is forced to obey another person.

'Course, since a pregnant woman forbidden from having an abortion is forced to remain pregnant and is forced to care for another individual, you could easily say that she is a type of slave to this child. This woman is being forced to care for another individual. And since we have already established that there is no real difference between a fetus and a child, this probably extends to after birth. Goodbye adoption, hello unwanted slave driver child you are forced by the state to take care of, come hell or high water.

Inequity: Lack of fairness of justice

The state cannot kill a person to save another. Make a fetus on the same standing as a human, if it came down to a call between a fetus and its mother, you would have to force women to die a natural death in order to avoid an abortion.

Partial Birth abortions constitute .01% of all abortions formed. Most of those are done only in cases where either the mother’s or baby’s life is in danger. Most doctors will not perform a partial birth abortion.

If you are allowed to bring up the horrid partial birth abortion procedure as an argument against all abortion, I am allowed to bring up Christian people who kill abortion doctors as argumentation against the Catholic and Presbyterian and Baptist and Orthodox churches.

The fact is, over 90% of abortions performed are done in the first trimester. A twelve week old baby cannot survive without its mother. It lives like a cancer off her.

Forcing a woman to remain pregnant over a mass of cells that debatably is human due to the idea that it may or may not one day develop into a child, and is alive only in the sense that all cells are alive, it seems ludicrous to sacrifice the rights of a woman who should be able to choose wether or not she should be forced to nurse a growth.
