40. This argument is
always disputed that the unborn fetus is not given a "choice" as to whether to live or die. As to supporting the death penalty, they had the "choice" not to murder. As to war, they had the "choice" not to sign up when they knew they may have to go to war. I tried to argue that at times a woman was not given a "choice" as in the instance of rape, but it flies right over their heads. They are focused on basically one thing....the rights of the fetus and this precludes any argument over the rights of the woman who may not have intended for the pregnancy to occur. When she becomes pregnant she forfeits all her rights.
