1. If a woman gives birth, it is most likely a child. What would you call it?

2. Since it is the mother giving birth, she is the only one in a position to know if she wants it or not.

Hopefully, the issue of whether or not a fetus is carried to term will rest with the pregnant woman. Who would have greater authority to determine the fate of the fetus? Why should the church or the government be given the authority to make decisions regarding the body of a woman who has committed no crime? Its her choice!

...or do you consider getting pregnant a crime that should carry a punishment of nine months and heavy labour?

Maybe if you were a woman you would feel differently.
