You can be completely prolife AND fully defend a woman's medical rights and domain over her body. The reasoning is thus: The fetus is a separate human individual from the moment of conception because it is the offspring of two human individuals and has a unique genetic makeup, neither the Mother's nor the Father's. Therefore, the fetus is accorded complete natural rights, albeit supervised by capable adults until the age of majority. So in any decision that would affect the rights of the fetus, including it's right to life, its rights must be considered and respected, just as any decision that would affect the rights of the mother must take into consideration her rights. A grey area of overlap would be the life of the mother being threatened by the pregnancy. This anymore is seldom an issue due to technology, but may still occur rarely. I think in such a case, the fetus should be induced birthed and then every effort should be made to save its life once birthed.
Yeah. From my perspective, ending a pregnancy at any time should be a woman's prerogative as long as she wants to forfeit her right to raise the baby. Also, the "abortion" then, should be a live birth, and the doctors involved in the procedure should do their best to save the life of that baby, regardless of when it's removed from the mother (this would encourage medical advancement in this area, I think).
If you want the right to raise a child, you better show willingness to carry it to term. Otherwise I don't think you can be trusted, and, after we save the life of your premature infant (if we can), you should never be able to see it again. Some rich folks can adopt it and give it the life you couldn't or didn't want to give it.
Again, I believe in a woman's right to carry or not carry a baby. But I don't think she has the right to automatically determine if that baby currently living inside her should live or die once she aborts it. I know it's unlikely now that babies born younger than 24 weeks will survive given our current understanding and technology, but there are so many people out there who want to adopt it just doesn't make sense not to try to save them.
