Reply to comment by Batbuckleyourpants in Lawyer argues fetus of jailed pregnant woman is being illegally detained by He-is

> It has not been deprived of a single experience

Interesting way to put it. Would you say this also applies in the case of abortion?

Yes? not being deprived of a single experience speaks in favor of maintaining the status quo in this temporary situation.

Listen, they don't trial cases based on hypotheticals, but on concrete facts. Fact 1: mother and fetus are locked in jail. Only one of them committed a crime (if we are to believe a fetus is a person). Fact 2: the mother was put in there as a punishment, but she did not put the fetus inside of her, therefore she's not imprisoning him...otherwise she could be forced to "free" him.
