Anyway, if you want to end the post, no biggie. For what it's worth, some of my eBay sites should be aborted so I'm wondering what that now makes me.

heh. I said ending the
post not the
thread, I'm still here
@tweak. Your argument reminds me of the sick violenist argument from Judith Jarvis Thompson's essay: 'A Defense of Abortion' which goes like this :Suppose you awakened to find yourself hooked up through intravenous tubes to a desperately ill violinist. The violinist, you're informed, requires the shared use of your kidneys for nine months - or else he'll die. Clearly, it would be generous if you agree to continue such an arrangement. But can the state
compel you to save the violinist? Certainly not. Likewise, Thompson reasons, the state cannot compel a woman to continue a pregnancy.
