Default Re: Better Restated Abortion Question

[ QUOTE ]
The original post scenario is not reasonable, because the woman would be paying them to terminate the embryo.

[/ QUOTE ] How can you presuppose this? Why wouldn't (or shouldn't) the woman be paying them simply to remove the fetus from her body? [ QUOTE ]
They could remove the embryo from her and then refuse to kill it, but they couldn't then expect her to pay for the procedure.

[/ QUOTE ] You're presuming that in OP's hypothetical, she already has the right to terminate the fetus once it's outside her body. Of course, you can't logically presume it because that's the very question being debated by the hypothetical. [ QUOTE ]
She would not be going in saying "get this thing out of me and we'll figure it out from there".

[/ QUOTE ] Why not? Why would the woman *necessarily* insist upon the termination of the fetus?

I do believe you've just provided ammo to the posters in here who have been claiming that a woman's real agenda in abortion is that the baby doesn't survive. Exhibit A: foal's post.
