There is nothing wrong with differing opinions and it is, in my opinion, the lack of the ability to have a civil conversation about those differences that has lead to some divides that we are seeing in the world today.

You cannot argue that eventually a fetus becomes a person. It's just when that happens that you can argue. It's it the first, second, third trimester, when it leaves the vaginal canal, or when the umbilical cord is snipped. And maybe fetus isn't the right term. Eventually the thing growing inside a woman during pregnancy becomes a person. I also have not said in my opinion when that happens as I'm not nearly educated enough in that realm. I just said something along the lines of "seems a little late" or something along those lines in regards to the 5 month abortion time.

I think that if a guy impregnates a girl and splits they should be paying child support during the pregnancy. As for obligations the government has to keep the un born child/fetus/person alive? I don't know. Thinking about it as i have over the past couple days, I do think abortion should unquestionably be allowed up to the third tri mester. It's just after that where it starts to get into that gray area for me personally.

As for government forced procedures it would be on them to prove the burden of the "greater good" in my opinion. I cannot see a reason for the government to force a pregnancy through from day 1 to birth "for the greater good". In my opinion a case could be made to "force/require/mandate" a woman that is the day before her due date to cary the child to term, that case could be the fetus is a person and has a right to life, do i agree with the argument? I don't know but a case could be made. I would personally be interested in knowing why the woman wants to abort the day before delivery. And it all comes back to when that fetus/child/ whatever you want to call it becomes a person in my opinion.

The government already has the ability to overrule healthcare officials right? They need to be licensed through the state to practice, that's my understanding at least. As for your private medical data? You keep that as long as you don't participate in any government medical aid/programs. I would love to see free medical for everyone via government. But you will give up some privacy from the government in that case. Should your medical records be out their for everyone to see? No. But the appropriate programs/entities with reasonable use should have access. For instance if someone wants a new liver, their previous drug/alchohol information should be taken into account. Should government sponsored food stamps have access to your medical history? No.

Just because one entity has access to your data doesn't mean it should be shared with the world. If the government has access to your medical information potential employers, government agencies or private sector, should not have access to it. Anti Discrimination laws are still in place and should be upheld. Do those laws get violated? Sure, all laws do. But we need laws of some sort in place. If you disagree with them get out and vote, protest, lobby for change.
