Re: Quick question for pro life people.
[ QUOTE ]
Should a pregnant woman be allowed to kill herself? (If you don't think anyone should be allowed to kill themselves, pregnant or not, you are crazy, but at least specify that when you say no then. "No. But I am crazy.")

Clarify please. Why is it inherent that anyone who thinks people should NOT be allowed to kill themselves must be "crazy?" My own opinions aside, it seems the legal and medical communities in the U.S. agree with each other, that a suicide attempt (unsuccessful, obv) is grounds for immediate loss of freedom. Granted, this is usually temporary, but a psychiatric evaluation is required, and the patient has no say in the matter. They cannot leave AMA (against medical advice) until evaluated by psychiatry. And, more to the point, if they indicate that they *still* intend to off themselves as soon as they are released, the psychiatrist has the discretion to keep them locked up. If the question arises, and said patient demands to be released, Sheriff's department maintains custody until patient is transferred to a lock-down facility.
In other words, according to your post, the legal and medical communities in the US must be crazy, correct?
