I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on Evictionism.
As we all already know, the subject of abortion is a clash on the right to life and the right to property.
On life we have various definitions on where life begins and what life means, brought to us by ethics, science and law.
On choice we have the uterus as the womans property, of which she has a right to.
Evictionism is a right to remove the fetus from the mother but not remove it to kill it.
When someone trespasses on your property, you tell them to go away and if they leave you cannot assault them. Is a fetus "trespassing" ? Legally, I can probably say yes because you can invite someone over, change your mind and tell them to leave. But does this give you the right to kill a trespasser who cannot discern that what they are doing is trespassing?
In a future where removal of a fetus can be done at any time and be kept alive and grow healthy, evictionism would be pro-life. Now it's just a cloudy compromise on for choice on the right of the mothers ownership over her uterus.
