Question for Pro-Choicers
Say that tommorow it is announced that there is a procedure which is less invasive than the standard abortion but which would allow for the fetus to survive outside the biological mothers womb. How the fetus survives is irrelevant, the fetus could be transplanted to another woman or an incubator of some kind. To the Pro-choicers, would the woman have a right to choose what happens to the fetus after it is outside of her? Put another way, does a woman have the right to choose to end her pregnancy or does she have the right to choose the destiny of her fetus?

I believe Sklansky asked this same question, either here or in SMP a while ago. [/ QUOTE ] As I recall it Sklanskys question dealt with the arbitrainess of the definition of life. What im tryng to get at here is, when someone calls themself pro-choice, what is the choice that you believe women have a right to? Is it the choice to terminate the pregnancy, or is it the choice to do whatever you want with whatever comes out of your body?

Re: Question for Pro-Choicers
tell me, if tomorrow pigs could fly, and you could book a seat on Porcine Airways, would you choose First Class or Coach, and would it be immoral if they served hot dogs as the meal?
This question has just as much validity as yours.

I don't know how useful this is, but I think I'd still favor the woman being able to terminate the pregnancy even if a procedure existed like you suggested. [/ QUOTE ] I agree that a woman has a right to terminate her pregnancy. The question is does she also have a right to decide what happens to the fetus after doing so.

If the fetus was in someway delivered then obviously she wouldhave the samerights as any mother. This seems too easy, maybe I'm missing something
