I invented nothing. From the Tiassa Dry Foot Policy:
An organism existing inside the body of a person is that person’s jurisdiction.
To assert that what takes place in a woman’s body is her own business.
When a fertilized egg grows into a functioning human being that can exist without umbilical attachment.
Distinguish the fetus in the womb from the person in the world.
Distinguish a fetus in the womb form a person outside of it.
You do realise that none of this supports your contention, right?
QUOTE="Capracus, post: 3324786, member: 268088"]How is my above interpretation in conflict with the points contained in the Tiassa Dry Foot Policy?
If what takes place inside the body of a woman during pregnancy is her jurisdiction, how can the state sanction her and abortion providers if they attempt to unjustifiably harm a fetus during the latter stages of pregnancy? The same court ruling that granted limited rights to woman regarding abortion, also gave limited rights to the fetus.
Roe v. Wade (1973) ruled unconstitutional a state law that banned abortions except to save the life of the mother. The Court ruled that the states were forbidden from outlawing or regulating any aspect of abortion performed during the first trimester of pregnancy, could only enact abortion regulations reasonably related to maternal health in the second and third trimesters, and could enact abortion laws protecting the life of the fetus only in the third trimester.

The Tiassa Dry Foot Policy is incompatible with this reality.[/QUOTE]
Now, apply this in a real world context and what women do and what doctors do and when they start refusing to perform abortions in the third trimester. And then, ooooh, I don't know, read what he actually says. For example:
For me, it's a dry-foot policy: Growing from fertilized ovum into a functional human being capable of existing without the umbilical attachment.
Now, explain to me why you are still carrying on with a misrepresentation of his "dry foot" policy that apparently, in your opinion, would allow women to shove their baby back up their vaginas so they could abort it.
But as I demonstrated above, we know in reality that a woman does not have complete rights over her body or the fetus she carries throughout pregnancy. And it’s these statutory realities that help prevent the perverted nightmares that would be legitimized by the Tiassa Dry Foot Policy.
Well, you demonstrated that you feel you should have rights over your daughter's body and choices by declaring you would "urge" her to abort.
The point of the dry foot policy, which you clearly do not understand and now we know why you are incapable of understanding it, is that while the woman is pregnant, her decisions and her choices are her business.
Whatever decision she makes should be between her and her doctor and the State should butt out, as should her father.
I don't quite know how to make this any simpler.
I believe my state’s limit of 24 weeks is in line with my conception of a qualified fetus. Although potentially viable at 21 weeks, I would consider a threshold of around 24 weeks more suitable in regards to neurologic development. And considering my daughter’s stated desire to forgo pregnancy, I would urge her to proceed.
Or you could butt out and mind your own business and let her decide what is right for her.
What your conception of a qualified foetus is is really beside the point. That would be her choice and you have no right to apply your personal standards or beliefs on abortion on other people.
My criteria for advising a woman on any matter are based on my knowledge of their personal circumstance and preference. And for you to assert this unfounded assumption that I would advise a woman to seek an abortion without such due consideration is thoughtless and irresponsible.
Yep. And if she finds herself pregnant and wants to keep it, in short, she changes her mind from what her free spirited views are now, what then? You would urge her to abort because she had previously said she didn't want to have children?
Or would you ask her what she wanted to do, and if she said she wanted to keep it, tell her you'd be there no matter what?
Because for all of your talk of how you would urge her to abort, you are yet to say what you would do if she said she was pregnant and wanted to keep it. Is that when you would urge her to abort? Or would you respect her decision and mind your own business and simply be there for her to help her regardless?
Show me where the Tiassa Dry Foot Policy contradicts itself by denying the mother the right to unconditionally terminate the life of a late term fetus? Because if it did, it would nullify its core premise that a woman has sole control over her body and the fetus contained therein.
He didn't contradict himself. He just contradicted your sick fantasies.
How about here, where he clearly states when late term abortions happen - a) medically necessary or b) when the doctor is unscrupulous and who should not be practicising medicine..
The abortions that take place, in which "obstetric scheduling" becomes an issue as you have suggested, are late-term, and only performed (A) under medically necessary circumstances, or (B) by an unscrupulous doctor who shouldn't have a theatre, or even a license, anywhere in the world.
You know, real world scenarios.
Because women do not wait until they are 35 weeks to change their minds.
And look, more real life applications of the dry foot policy, arguing from a realistic standpoint instead of a hyped up horror story you keep dreaming up:
I always come back to the question of what sort of doctor would perform a D&X to accommodate a last-second demand for abortion. It may be a woman's right to make such a demand, but it's also a doctor's right to refuse on ethical grounds—and, what, really, is she going to do at that point, shop around for another OB/GYN who will accept a patient in labor for a D&X? I mean, sure, if I really try, I can invent a reason why that right should remain open. You know, what if at the last minute they all realize it's not a human baby but a giant monster-lout fallen off a giant, wingless bat.
I never suggested in my fantasy illustration that a fetus be stuffed into a vagina, that version was added by you for your own twisted enjoyment.
I’ve clearly stated that my illustration was to make a point about reality, not be a representation of it. The Tiassa Dry Foot Policy is intended to become reality, even though reality refuses to accommodate it.
Let's see what you said when you first introduced your turducken argument:
What if the umbilical cord was reattached and the baby stuffed back into the womb, would it cease to be a person?
I'm sorry, your analogy was to "stuff [it] back into the womb".. After reattaching the umbilical cord.
Apparently we can simply bypass the vagina in the process..
But then you went further.. Well, explained what you meant, because apparently this was more acceptable....
As for stuffing the person back in the box, I had in mind the more technically plausible scenario of a reverse C-section, but given your version, planning surgical procedures doesn’t seem to be your forte.
At what point were you making a "point about reality"?
