I can't make this any clearer than right. Bodily autonomy is a human right, and that's a fact. Grass is green, the sky is blue, and people have bodily autonomy. You can argue these things, but that doesn't make them any less true.

Natural rights? What is this, Wigton where everybody wears a powdered wig?

At least there would be fewer abortions. And as a bonus, some of those women who do have abortions will die from bleeding out!

How do you suggest removing the sperm? I'm not a doctor, but I'm under the impression that the testes continually produce more.

Reversible male birth control is, iirc, a really hard problem.

Manadatory vasectomy upon puberty. Some males will have complications that make reversal impossible, but vasectomy is a very safe procedure so this would definitely be the most ethical way to ensure that the zygote Shoah finally comes to an end.

Too much room for loving things up (complications from the vasectomy, the artificial insemination not taking, etc). Better do to things the way God intended.

Pregnancy complications are much more dangerous than vasectomy complications. Shave your taint, because this has already been decided.

I'm a standard moral realist. I don't subscribe to any particular ethical theory, but I recognize that moral questions have both utilitarian and deontological aspects and we need to address both.

Conception is the point at which a genetically distinct human organism is formed. It marks the beginning of the growth process that culminates in birth. Sperm and egg are awakened from their dormant states and fused together to create a new human. Hence, the beginning of life.

The position that "life begins at conception" provides a clear, simple, and logical answer to the question of when life begins. I don't have any killer argument that compels to you to agree with me, but it's ridiculous that you treat this position with such contempt.

Your purportedly unique and hard-come-by beliefs are irrelevant in the scheme of American discourse about women's health and women's rights.

Sooo you're saying that women have to emulate Jesus by repeatedly sacrificing their bodies for the sins of their fetuses? Or what. I thought that whole "take my body" thing was supposed to be a one-time deal.

I'm glad we're on the same page on this issue.

However, just about everything tacked on in addition to Q was the ravings of a desert Steve Jobs and his apocalyptic cult. All the real heirs of the Master who understood the meaning of his teachings (like those who wrote Didache) got rubbed out before the Catholic Church came on the scene. The Church is the legacy of the cult, not of the Master, and has all the moral wisdom and coherency of the Nation of Gods and Earths.

You think it takes more than four minutes to read a paragraph of neoconservative barf?

If you think it's just to believe that removing a mass-murderer and tyrant that had repeatedly invaded other nations was an inherently immoral action, you may be a crass rear end in a top hat. If you've the opinion of many cod-leftists, that having done the wrong thing once, nations/the USA should never do anything again, you've all the brainpower of a particularly stupid amoeba.
