‘Forced birther’ Is another silly term. Birth is a physical process that, without medical intervention, will happen beyond 24 weeks (or even earlier).
It is interesting that, in the assisted dying debate, which to me is far more cut and dried (very few competing rights), no one is arguing that they are a ‘forced breather’ because a doctor won’t help them die.
And the nexus to the circumcision debate (which people love to demand be kept separate) is, to me, unavoidable. Some of the same people who passionately object to the removal of a tiny piece of foreskin from a newborn baby in what their parents feel is in the baby’s best interests, equally passionately demand that one day prior they have the right to inject the same baby with potassium chloride and collapse it’s head by sucking out the brains.
In Nassim Taleb’s immortal words people who can argue the above are IYIs (intelligent yet idiots). They have a precept (bodily autonomy), link it to the current legal (but morally highly suspect) point that a baby is not a human being until the moment of birth, and take it to its logical conclusion ignoring all common sense and counter arguments, thus reaching a ridiculous conclusion.
