I dunno, should it be illegal to allow a person to damage her body, 
allow her to inflict pain and injury upon herself, and risk her 
health, life and sanity, simply because she cannot live up to the 
consequences of not keeping her panties on, and fulfill the moral 
obligation of being the life-sustaining ark of a completely new
person?

It is the law that an accused man is innocent until proven guilty
because it would be immoral, unjust, and illogical not to afford
him the benefit of the doubt until his accusers can convincingly
erase that doubt. Therefore, it should be the law that an unborn 
fetus, from the moment of conception, is given the benefit of the 
doubt and afforded the same life-protecting rights as children 
outside the womb. To do otherwise, without sufficient proof 
that a fetus is not a person, would be unethical, unjust, and 
thoroughly immoral.

Until such times as the pro-abortion crowd can present such proof
outside of their whinging rhetoric and illconceived notions of human
rights, pregnant women have a moral obligation to sustain an unborn 
fetus and carry it to term. This moral obligation should be enforced 
by law in a just society, regardless of the pregnant woman's concerns,
regrets, or Ray Fischer's straw men.

A society that legalises abortion has fundamentally failed in its
duty to protect its citizens.
