The point is that----as long as a fetus is dependant upon a woman's body for its survival----you can create some egregious human rights violations by attempting to legislate individual morality. If you believe that abortion is immoral, that is your right....and you have the right to decide whether or not you or your family ever has one. But when you start insisting you have the right----in a free-and-secular society---to tell other people what their moral code should be...and what they have the right to do nor not do with their bodies if they are of legally sound mind.... ....and put the power of the STATE behind it....then we have a big problem. Because the reality of the world in which we live is that once you start imbuing some thing that cannot exist independently with "rights"....you'd better be prepared for its rights...and the rights of the person whose body its dependant up on to come into conflict. ..and once we start categorically choosing the rights of the fetus over the rights of the woman...then it is a VERY sharp, VERY slippery slope to "The Handmaid's Tale."
