Isn't the viable woman more important than the viable fetus?

[SusanCalvin]

1. In a historical sense,

there's no way to tell which is more "important" other than knowledge of the future. (Thinking of some conservative arguments I have seen.)

In a rational sense, it's the woman's choice. Period. Up to the completion of the birth. Period.

Yes, I'm radical on this. Who in their right mind would choose to become pregnant if there was a large chance it would put them under the control of others? I, for one, wouldn't.

Might I disapprove of others' choices? Oh yeah. Might I not have all the facts? Oh yeah. Might others' choices in this matter be considered wrong by many? Yep. Might I try to persuade people? Possibly.

Still, my body is my body. And at this point in my life I'm happy for many reasons never to have been pregnant.

Want a next generation? I see it as a choice between people willing to become pregnant and Handmaid's Tale.
