Stop calling me Shirley.

A woman is not an economy. The right to be free to control your body is not a property right. And its certainly not anywhere near analogous to a property right in a slave.

Didn't say it was. Merely pointing out that there are competing rights. And, the argument will never resonate with someone who doesn't believe that that unborn human/fetus/lump might be deserving of consideration in the confering of entitlement to rights. You've made an arbitrary distinction, like Ty - and so have I, at another point on the continuum. I think, like I bet you do, that there is no way for us to know the "right" answer to that. Difference is, I'd prefer to err on the side of not killing.

There is no trumping solution here, although I applaud your attempt to work an end-around my reasonable offer to compromise.

Let's only kill pheasant-flushers who get less than a "B" average. Good compromise?

I view the woman's right as trumping your argument.

Yep, that's the bottom line of the whole fight.
