I think you have the right to remove someone from your property. If they are not capable of surviving on their own or no one will take care of them then it's not your problem.
It's brutal and I don't advocate for it, but I'm not going to cage someone for getting an abortion
How exactly is removing a newborn the same as removing a trespasser?
An unborn child is not entitled to a persons body or care. Just like I can not require that someone else take care of me.
Just because it is a helpless unborn baby doesn't mean it has some special right to command the efforts of others for its own sake.
I could argue that I am helpless and people should be made to care for me.
It's a slippery slope
An unborn child is actually entitled to receive nutrients needed for its development within the womb. You on the other hand are a grown adult who has the capacity to work and fend for yourself, so to ask for people to take care of you makes you entitled.
Why is anyone entitled to the labor of others?
You say this as though it is just fact. It's not, it's your opinion that this fetus will be given an exception to the NAP.
Without an exception the fetus has no more right to the labor or property of others than a grown adult.
Again I'm not advocating for abortion, just that it's not a crime.
What I'm not understanding about your way of thinking is that you are essentially saying that newborns and children are to be treated the same as adults. There's a reason why kids aren't allowed to drive, drink alcohol, or even watch certain media: They do not have the same standing, mentally or otherwise, as adults do.
The fetus relies on nutrients from the pregnant mother for growth and breastfeeding after born. It's not even remotely close to if anyone else made entitled claims to people's labor.
From a legal perspective I think children should be treated like what they are, humans. Yes they do require more care than most, not all, adults.
What this comes down ultimately is that from your perspective a women should not be allowed to choose what to do with her body. She should be penalized legally for abortion
I think otherwise, I own my body and I don't think anyone including an unborn baby has the right to tell me what to do with it.
Tbh this isn't an issue I'm even that passionate about. It won't ever effect me or 99.9 percent of the population. Dont like abortions......don't have one
If I invite you into my airplane, I am entitled to kick you out.
I am not entitled to kick you out at 30,000 feet.
The baby is entitled to safe delivery because the mother has invited it aboard (and if the baby was the product of rape it's equivalent to a stowaway, who also should not be tossed overboard when there are nonlethal resolutions possible).
This is a classic though experiment. But I don't think the contract is as clear cut with a child as it is in the airplane example.
I think your example would be more fair if the guest jn the airplane was becoming violent and threatening to crash the airplane.
It's a variation of the "guy hanging on my flagpole" example. And in that example I think you do have the right to tell him to let go.
I don't think you are a good person for doing so and ultimately I think the social layer of justice (not sOcIaL jUsTiCeš¤£) can sort out extreme applications of the law
To say they we the same is of course an exaggeration.
If a man is starving and you don't feed him, then he dies are you responsible? By your line of thinking I would say you are responsible for his death.
Another interesting thought experiment:
A mother and her 1 year old find themselves lost in the woods on a cold night. The mother realizes that she can stay with her child and they will both die or she can leave the child and she will live.
If she leaves the child is she a "murderer"?
This is an example of "abortion" imo and although it is tragic I don't think the mother should be punished as a criminal.
I would say that both of these are false equivalences.
Neither of the examples given can be considered violations of the NAP. While they are both tragic personal decisions, they do not involve harm towards another individual like abortion would for the newborn.
