I think this video raises an interesting moral dilemma related to abortion.
In some states, a habitual drinker can be forced into rehab. But here's the question: does human life begin at conception or at birth? If human life starts at birth, then just as a pregnant woman should be allowed to have an abortion, she should be free to drink to her heart's content too since the fetus enjoys no human right until it is born.
If human life begins at conception, then yes, a judge should be allowed to force a pregnant habitual drinker into rehab, but can then prevent a woman from having an abortion too.
in short, how can one support the right of a woman to choose when it comes to abortion, but not when it comes to drinking while pregnant? Intellectual honesty and consistency requires one or the other: either the fetus has rights, or it doesn't.
So if you are a proponent of abortion, how would you react if you were in the video, and according to what logic?
