ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri I would also say, that, at least in the case of abortion, a woman has every right to abort her fetus... I feel abortion is wrong. I also feel I don't have the right or authority to decide that for someone else. I understand the hesitancy to use the force of law when it concerns individual choices, but i could use some help with this statement: if she has a "right" to do it, im unclear how abortion can be "wrong?" can you elaborate? are you thinking "a right to do it" is maybe synonymous with "free to do it" because the law allows for it? I have no right to force my beliefs on another person, just as someone who feels abortion isn't wrong doesn't have the right to force their belief on me. quote:

Thus, I completely agree that a man or woman should have the right to decide what he or she wants to do with his or her body, as long as it's not crossing another's rights. when does the baby in the womb get rights such that killing it would be in violation of those rights? I have no idea. That was brought up in another thread and it didn't get solved. Not that I think it truly ever will. But, that really is a huge sticking point in the the debate between the pro and anti abortion camps.
