Amesh -- In reply to Amy

Amesh you state:

"My response is that rights can only apply to individuated humans, not potential humans physiologically dependent and connected to another human. It is a misapplication of rights to apply them to an organism entirely resident in another human."

Now if you take that 2 month old 3 month old from the mother and it can survive and grow to be a normal human, how can you say it would not deserve rights. At that point the women is just a growth tube not always a host to support life.

Its not the baby's fault that the father planted a seed in a women who did not want it.

Just out of curiosity when you see a women pregnant such as a wife, sister, mother or someone close and they announce they are pregnant. Do you ask when the orginism is going to be born? Or as a host how do you feel. Its funny how we can choose our words when it suits our discussion. I am sure you dont apply the same terms when talking abortion as you do with some woman who is not. You should if you truly believe what you are talking about.

Example:

Women gets abortion, I would say hmm she aborted her baby not regulate or dismiss as an orginism.

Women is pregnant and delivering I still use the word baby.

Can you say the same..?
