libertarian philosophy, biology, and common sense.
Let me know if this looks familiar to you...
"We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise SOLE DOMINION
over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner
they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal
right of others to live in whatever manner they choose."
Sole Dominion refers to our body and all the organisms within our
body. To suggest that any organism living within a person has any
rights, especially rights over and above the host in which they are
living, is to deny sole dominion, and self-ownership.
Self-ownership means we own ourselves. It means that no other person,
group of people, government, animal, vegetable, or mineral has any
claim to our body at all or to the fruits of our labor. This applies
to each and every single organism living within our body regardless of
what that organism happens to be.
If you claim that a fetus has any rights at all, you are denying the
sole dominion, and self-ownership of the host body. In other words,
you are excluding libertarianism.
Here's the part where you falsely claim I didn't prove anything.
