Alright. This entire thread is going nowhere fast. May I summarise?
quote:
So it is strictly about body autonomy, and woman have that, up until they say yes.
—riVeRraT
This is RR's opinion on why abortion should not be a right; if women get pregnant after consensual sex, they do not have the right to terminate the zygote that is violating their body autonomy because when they consented to sex, they consented to the possibility of becoming pregnant.
The opposing view is that women may consent to sex, but they do not automatically consent to the possibility of becoming pregnant as well and thus retain their body autonomy, and the right to terminate the zygote that is violating their body autonomy if they become pregnant.
All clear? Am I reading everyone right?
If I am, then the question appears to be one of whether or not women consent to the possibility of pregnancy by consenting to sex.
(I can only hope this helps to get the thread out of the current rut it's in...)
