Better Restated Abortion Question

My point of course is that many woman who choose to have an abortion disingenously use the argument that they have a right to do what they want with their body, even though their real agenda is that the baby does not survive.

Women have abortions because they don't want to have a baby. Once the fetus is removed, and they are no longer going to have a baby, I don't think most women will care what you do with the fetus. Presumably, the best option would be to donate it to some lab so they can harvest the stem cells. But, if the mother decides she wants it cremated, that's probably her choice.

Whatever choice she would have to do with a tumor she has removed, she should have the same choices in regards to the fetus that is removed. I'm not positive what those choices are, but they should be the same, I think. Unless there is some compelling reason for them not to be (like medical science needs to get more stem cells, we have a population shortage and need every potential person to be actualized, etc.).
