@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. |
Apples to oranges at best. Thompson was a critics wet dream too, not someone I'd quote too heavily as being a reputable authority on the subject.
Turbo, you're still dodging my challenge. Just name a state, I'll find the stats and show you just how right I am.
