I still stand by my first post in regard to the original scenario though Wink

In the original scenario though, you would be forced to have an abortion despite whatever you would want to do.

The state tells you that you must abort because it is the law.

Just like some people would like nothing better than to force all .women who find themselves pregnant to remain that way despite whatever they want to do.

I agree. It is wrong to enforce pregnancy.

My point was that it is wrong to force someone to kill whereas in our society you have the choice not to kill. Of course, not all countries are so flexible.

I understand your point. However, within the context of the original scenario, it doesn't fit because the state and society would invalidate your choice.

Sorry, I don't understand. Embarassed

As far as I can see it I wouldn't have a choice in the original scenario, I'm being forced to kill.
