(6 posts)The core technical problem with argument being presented, nice to see it isn't actual yours btw, is that it makes two assumptions that are not accurate. The first being that the decision to have sex is in and of itself consent to carry the fetus to term, and the second being that even if she had previously consented this would somehow negate her right to alter that decision at a later date.
At the end of the day you have conflicting rights, anytime this happens you examine both in a vacuum to determine which could continue practicing the right in question without the participation of the other. The one that can't is creating the infringement. Plus, there is no obligation for one individual to accommodate another for the sake of the other attempting to practice his/her rights the only obligation is to not hinder the other. Based on all of this, I have never been able to understand how anyone who examines the abortion issue from the perspective of our legal system can possibly argue for outlawing abortion. Any such argument can only be founded in emotion and not logic.
