A "part" of your wife? Like, the functionality of her uterus is all you care about? For you to draw a distinction between harm to your wife and harm to your wife's reproductive organs is pretty sick, I think. But it proves what I've been saying all along - the only interest you have in your wife is her role, which you believe the government should give you the right to demand, in producing your progeny.
And if your wife went off and had an abortion, because she realized that she's nothing but a baby machine to you? What then? Should she go to jail, too?
Crash, I fail to see how you have inferred this from a single comment from RR saying that:
quote:
...I would want that person put in jail. and not just because he hurt a part of my wife, but because he hurt my future child.
  —RiverRat
This comment seems to refer to his opinion that a fetus is a living being and not only a collection of cells that happens to be a part of his wife.
Inferring that he only cares about his wife in a "baby-making" capacity is highly insulting. It is also off-topic in this thread, and (I believe) breaks the rule regarding arguing the position and not the person.
Please consider offering an apology to RR immediately, and take this discussion to the other thread.
