she decided to **** and got pregnant. and then she doesn't care about your feelings. while it's not illegal to be an idiot, if these actions are legal is under debate now.
My say is I decided to have sex with her. After that she is a private citizen with rights.
an unborn fetus is not a part of me at all. Sperm was a part of me and no longer exists.
The fetus hasn't been separated and made to be independent so there's no murder. Its a pretty easy answer, not sure why you think its difficult.
I understand that it is under debate whether or not men should have control over women via the government. Some people support large liberal powerful governments that tells private citizens what to do with their bodies, some of us prefer rights and a small conservatives government that doesn't have the right to jail people over what they do with their bodies.
with regards to ethics, why do you think its ok for you to tell someone else what to do with their body when your choice leads to their death in a greater than zero amount of cases?
