re: #786 Obdicut

I don’t think that’s true.

And that someone could respond, “You’re wrong, a fetus is not a parasite,” and they’d be correct doesn’t bother you? Or is a gill a lung?

Though our argument has been about definitional accuracy. My argument regarding the woman’s rights to what goes on in her body is from the start metaphorical, and you’ve given me better ammunition for it by making the strong point that a fetus is in fact a greater antagonist than a parasite. I would never go into an argument with a pro-lifer saying a fetus is a parasite. I would say it is parasitic, and if given the response you quote above would be happy to go into the details, and why those details mean it is the woman’s right to do what she wants in the jurisdiction of her body.
