If pregnancy is an accident, who own it, why, and what may be implied?

SWAN = Stephen Wan's View:
________________________

One cannot have sex with oneself. In normal sex intercourse, there must be one man and one woman. (In this discussion we do not include orgy, gay or lesbian sex.)

Nowadays:
(a) a woman may want to play multi-roles: wife, mother, career woman...
(b) Some may want to be wives only without children, and prefer to work as career women.
(c) Some may want to be just career women and never get married.
(d) Some may opt for other plans but never want any children no matter what, etc.

In (b), (c), (d) above and even in (a) above if the mother does not want any more baby, pregnancy must be avoided in sex intercourse. If there is pregnancy, it becomes an undesirable outcome of an accident.

Instead of seeking abortion as the only feasible solution to deal with such accident, we should ask a question first. Whose accident is it?

Since the man and the woman (2 persons) together in sex and then the accident happens, so the accident happens because of 2 persons, NOT the woman alone. At least we must say the accident belongs to 2 persons (man and woman), and in fact, should be PLUS such accident also belongs to society if the baby can be allowed to be given birth as well as if the baby is not allowed to be given birth under abortion. Why? Because both involve tax payers' monies for provisions of  hospitals, and schooling (if there is birth).

Therefore, the argument that abortion is the pregnant woman's own private business is NOT valid. It is NOT her own private accident. It is also NOT the 2 sex partners' own private accident. It is a PUBLIC accident!

Because PUBLIC expenditure for provisions of medical asistance and facilities are involved, how to deal with outcome of such an accident becomes a PUBLIC issue, NOT a private business or issue at home. The pregnant woman alone has NO ABSOLUTE RIGHT to claim that she alone and only she alone has the authority to deal with the outcome of such accident.

On surface, the accident happens in her body in the uterus. This is not totally true as such accident cannot be separated from the context of society in which the 2 persons live.. The accident happens because of joint actions of 2 persons (man and the woman) in sex intercourse. The accident happens in the community and society where these 2 persons are members. The pregnant woman has no absolute right to ignore her sex partner and the community when she is seeking abortion or other way to deal with the outcome of such an accident.

Pro-abortionists' arguments, and Thomson's principles of arguments have assumed that the pregnant woman has absolute right to choose abortion her own way of dealing with the outcome of pregnancy as an accident. Such assumption has denied other owners of such accident- the man's right AND the rights of the society in which such accident happens. Such assumption is NOT appropriate. It appears 'kind' to the pregnant woman but actually 'extremely cruel and unreasonable' to the pregnant woman! By granting the pregnant woman the so-called right to her own body is actually pushing the responsibility to the pregnant woman alone. This is NOT fair to her. Neither is it fair to her sex partner and to the community.

Therefore the pregnant woman has no absolute right to proclaim, "It is my body. No one can interfere with my decison on how to deal with 'my accident'. I am my own judge to define what is right and what is wrong in the way dealing with the accident." No, she should not be allowed to claim sole ownership of such an outcome of pregnancy as an accident..

Since she shares ownership of such accident, she must share the views and opinions of others. All parties concerned should be responsible for offering help and assistance if the joint decision is to forbid abortion.

When the 2 joint owners (husband and wife) of a house have caused a fire of their house, such a fire as their accident also belongs to the neigbourhood and community. Why? Obviously because they cannot just choose their own way of dealing with a fire accident. They need firefighting services. They need post-fire assistance, and advice, etc. SAME with pregnancy as an accident, abortion may not be the only way or appropriate way to deal with pregnancy as an accident. The pregnant woman has no absolute right to insist upon solely on single option of abortion as the dealing method. Rather she has the responsibility to listen to other owners of such an accident. She has to take others' opinion and recommendation even though her body appears to be her own. Her body WITHOUT the foetus/baby may be her own, but her body WITH the foetus/baby may not belong to her alone anymore as soon as she becomes pregnant as an accident. There are other owners of such accident, as deducted above!
