    Did this pregnant woman give birth to a child in the past, and is she looking to have that child assassinated in this scenario? That’s covered under regular old murder laws.

      I am talking about before a woman gives birth to a baby, whether she is 4 weeks pregnant, or 3 month pregnant, and she wants to murder the baby inside of her before she gives birth.

        That’s called an abortion, not murder. See, since it’s inside of a human with her own agency, no one else has any say in what she does. It’s a very simple concept called bodily autonomy.

          Bodily autonomy of the person inside her during pregnany. If she does not want to be pregnant then she must remain celibate and never be with any man.

            The fetus is not a person, not a body.

            You don’t get to tell the woman what to do with her body any more than she gets to tell you what to do with yours.

            Bodily autonomy of the person inside her during pregnany.

            Even if we hold that a fetus is a person, that person is not having their bodily autonomy violated.

            Even if we hold that abortion is murder, it is still morally right, because the right to bodily autonomy is more important than the right to life.
