-
- It's been stated before that the woman's right to abortion is a right of
- removal, not a right to kill the fetus. It appears that the same logic
- you're using would indicate that she *does* have a right to kill the
- fetus, since removal and killing are separable. Is this true? If not,
- please show the flaw.
-
- (And if the flaw is that killing a fetus isn't a right, that gets back to my
- original question...)
