- As far as I know, Ms. Forgach was not advancing a bodily autonomy
- argument (nor was I), she was pointing out the hypocrisy of those
- who support bodily autonomy arguments and yet reject Baby Theresa's
- right to her own organs. I think your allegation of hypocrisy against
- Ms. Forgach is grounded on the mistaken belief that she supports
- pro-choice bodily autonomy arguments.

- I think they do, but they see two bodies, not one.

-
- I don't know about Ms. Forgach, but my position has always been
- that parents have a moral obligation to care for and protect their
- children. I don't see where benign neglect enters into the picture.

-
- Abortion is killing a human being, and removing the dead body from
- the woman's body.
