Jacob Rees Mogg and Sacrosanct Life
Quoted today 6-9-17, as being a Catholic, and opposed to abortion, with life sacrosanct from conception.
It may be considered that:
If we wish to live in a Catholic dictatorship then this is presently the moral standpoint.
If we are anarchists and moral relativists, then every adult may well be in virtually entire charge of his own life and that of his progeny.
If we are altruists, then a foetus is a growing baby and future adult, with evolving sensations and sapience. And everyone including that foetus is a member of society that has to manage its welfare, which may include its abortion for its own and mothers good or least harm.
If we do not believe in any kind of society then we barely believe in human life of any kind.

If we are altruists, then a foetus is a growing baby and future adult, with evolving sensations and sapience. And everyone including that foetus is a member of society that has to manage its welfare, which may include its abortion for its own and mothers good or least harm.

According to this it is the right, privilege and duty for every able-bodied and able-minded fetus to:
- get a job
- participate in national and other elections where qualified, with casting one-fetus; one-vote
- marry, smoke, and drive fast sports cars
- commit suicide

-----------------

The questions remain: does the fetus have the right to kill the mother, in order for its own good. Does it have the right to kill his mother for the good of least harm.

I'll let the fact that you can't spell foetus pass, but a mother is not dependent on a foetus for her survival. A foetus isn't expected to house, feed, clothe etc.etc.etc..the mother for the next eighteen or so years, regardless of circumstances or whether or not it is financially, emotionally, or physically capable of doing so. It's not an equal partnership sonny boy. And unless all those anti-choice hypocrites are willing to support every unwanted foetus in every way for the first eighteen years of its life then they really don't have a leg to stand on and should just shut the fuck up.
