A Conversation About Choice

Dory at Wittenberg Gate has written an excellent piece titled, "A Conversation About Choice". Here is a snippet:

Man: It may surprise you that I agree with that hierarchy as well. Now let's consider your reproductive choices in light of the rights of another person: the child. We have established that protection from violence is a right that supersedes other people's reproductive choices, right?

Woman: Yes, but an unborn fetus is not a person and not protected from violence.

Man: Obviously, in a biological sense she is an individual of the species Homo sapiens, so what you are saying is that you do not recognize that this individual is a person in the legal sense, am I right?

The entire conversation is worth reading and exposes the red-herring of most "pro-choice" arguments. The question is not about your choices and your rights. I grant you those. The question is about whether the baby has a legal status that recognizes she has choices and rights.
