- Eric, you deleted the portion about the temporal nature of 'less than human'.
- *if* women are less-than-human when they are pregnant and under the compul-
- sion of an unjust government to bear children, they are not necessarily
- less-than-human before or after. Ditto men conscripted into service. There
- remains a 'norm' of humanness for people; it is just seized from them
- when the government thinks it's a good idea.
-
- Which is hardly like having 'rights' is it, if it were done randomly, but
- we are talking about relatively systematic seizures aren't we?
-
- If that didn't address your point, I think you'll have to explain more
- clearly.
