Sophie,
your argument about the state and bone marrow is specious. *If* the
fetus is a human being, then an abortion is killing a human being.
And te state already prevents you from killing me, why should 
these rights not be granted to a humn being simply because it has
not been born yet? The state doesn't demand that we save others by
giving them marrow transplants, but then an abortion is not just a
failure to provide something -- it is an action, not an
absence of one.
