Reply #42: Could or should? [View All]

Until gestation to viability outside a human womb is made a technological fact, the state has a compelling interest in treating women as incubation vessels.

That is, if you accept that the state has a compelling interest in the existence of a future citizenry.

What would the counter argument be?

All expectant mothers have the right to abort at any time, and the state has no authority to ensure its future in contravention of female sovereignty over their own bodies. (I am actually more comfortable with this view. But it does make for a very stark dichotomy!)

And hey, don't be an information snob. Wikipedia is a blessing. If that article is wrong, correct it. If it is an insufficient summary, add to it whatever you feel is missing to make it complete yet still appropriate for a general audience.
