Yet the fetus in the womb is a part of the woman's body, thus she should have control over it. *It is her body*, she's not simply a vessel. Isn't this logically coherent? The timing question is another matter, and I'm not comfortable arguing that either way. I do remember reading an essay by Hannah Arendt on abortion. I remember it very vaguely. Anyone know the essay I'm talking about?
