19. Even IF I do give you that, even if abortion is morally "wrong,"
Edited on Mon Mar-07-05 03:48 AM by BullGooseLoony
to whatever degree, her right to disconnect that fetus/baby stands. The government can't force her to stay physically connected to that fetus/baby- even at 8 1/2 months. Her rights cover her whole term.

Keep in mind, though, that in asserting that moral obligation, you're telling everyone that a parent has the same moral obligation to their child no matter WHAT age that child is. They have to connect themselves to their child, if it is the only thing that would keep them alive, possibly even *for the rest of their lives*- and only morally. Not legally.

To expound on this point, where's the cutoff point as far as the length of time one is obligated to be connected to a child, morally? 9 months? Three years? Twenty years? For life?
