My intent in my original submission was not to defend the pro-life position
itself, but to show that it is not necessarily an attempt to force one's
beliefs onto another.  (Although, if someone takes the pro-life position *only*
because their church/parents/whosamasudge tells them they should, and not
because *they personally* have come to the conclusion that the fetus should
have rights, it probably is an attempt to inflict beliefs.)

I will, however, respond to your example early next week in net.abortion,
although I would leave any arguments about the pro-life position being an
attempt to inflict beliefs in this group.
