That argument could have it's own 'where do you draw the line' question. What about our 'born' children? Is it fair to a 3yr old to sacrifice yourself so he/she could live? What's the difference between a motherless newborn and a motherless 3yr old? Is one situation fairer than the other? I'd take the bullet for my children any day. I think it's reasonable to have those same instincts/desires to protect the unborn too. I think Glamourcide has raised an interesting point... and I'd have to really think about it myself I think.
As for the OP. I draw my line at conception. A 1cm fetus is no different to a 25cm fetus in my books. I personally don't understand the argument that it's our bodies. The baby's body is not mine. Is the baby's body not also a temple? Just my opinion.. not said in judgement of those who think differently. Just simply don't agree.
