No...for this parasite therory to work, the coercion has not ceased until the umbillical cord is severed.

One of the points I attempted to make was that the parasite theory doesn't work.

and this is not ment as a dig towards you....but you created your whole moral code? Really? Non-coercion, huh? I hope I am never in need and you are the only one around. :think:

That's a different can of worms.
 
BTW, fetus' are highly feasible at about 24 weeks. Maybe a law should be passed that abortion cannot be done after that time period. Let's take it a step further. Most fetus' can feel pain by week 5. Maybe abortion after that point should be abolished. I think abortion will continue to be apart of our society whether you like it or not. Keep abortion legalized, just with stricter rules and regulations. There are tons of arguments both for and against. I'm just trying to be logical here.

Within 5 weeks, the only option is medical abortion. Further, most women don't catch it until at least 6 weeks, since menstrual cycles can be anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks apart. But 24 weeks is very reasonable.

I was saying the parastite theory and your theory of coercion were one in the same.

I am assuming, for purposes of this discussion, that a "parasite" has no rights. "My theory of coercion," therefore, is only relevant if I we assume a fertilized egg to be the moral equivalent of a human being --- about as far from a parasite as you can get. Further, the non-coercion principle is inconclusive about what the appropriate course of action is. Thus, my opinion in favor of legal abortion is a matter of pragmatism.

Hope that clears up my position a bit.
