The state does not own my body whether I'm pregnant or not.
Car accidents are one of the most frequent causes of death of pregnant women (and their fetuses); should women be forbidden from riding in cars while pregnant?
Homicide by male partners is another frequent cause of death to pregnant women (and their fetuses); maybe women should just be held in protective custody while they're pregnant, so they can be protected and fed a diet that will benefit the fetus. This way they could also be kept from gaining too much weight, which has been shown to increase the risk of diabetes and other problems in the future child.
Should a woman who does not pre-consent to deliver by c-section, when none is indicated, have her child taken away?
http://advocatesforpregnantwomen.org/bl ... tory_o.phpAnd what if they want to home-school their children after they're born - should the state take the kids away for their own protection? What if they want to teach their kids ideologies that the majority find repugnant?
What if a woman chooses not to breast-feed her child - should the state take measures to force her to do so, given the known, significant benefits of breast-feeding for the infant?
Women do not cease to be citizens when they get pregnant. I don't know why that is so f***ing difficult for so many people (usually men, coincidentally) to understand.
I now have a pro-choice stance so I dunno why you're telling this to me. I also said it shouldn't be illegal. I just found it ridiculous that VW blames society for a woman choosing to drink during pregnancy.
