Abortion and Thompson’s violinist: unplugging a bad analogy

Abstract

Refutes the suggestion that the mother has the right to remove herself as the life support system from an unborn child. Cites responsibilities in creating the child and argues the child is then seen as a trespasser and is punished by capital punishment.
