From http://folk.uio.no/thomas/po/abortion-machanreply.html

Tibor Machan in his Another Look at Abortion in Full Context Vol. 11, No. 6 (July/August 1999) writes that "The main issue involved in the abortion debate is the time at which a human being come into existence." Not so. The main issue is the sovereignty of self, the most intimate and fundamental of all individual rights: the right to control one's own body. Noone has the right to access, use or dispose one's body against one's will. Therefore it makes no difference what a fetus is - body part, potential human, individual person, god or goddess - none of these have any right to invade a human's body against its owner's will, because there is no such right. The nature of the fetus is irrelevant to the woman's right to abortion. She has the right to evict it at any time during pregnancy, for the same reason and in the same way that she has the right to end an intercourse at any point of its execution.

Wow! I've never seen anybody use this argument before. Thanks peregrine58, for the awesome site.

So I put the final kibosh on the kitchen painting chore. I just got done cleaning the paint from the windows and peeling off the last of the tape. Now I can run up to Lowe's to buy more paint so that I can touch up the gouges and such that have already appeared. Sigh.

Then again, the bed is finally all set up and in place. I'm pleased enough that I think I'll need to take a picture and post it. Repairing the leg that I had to cut was a real PITA, but although it has a Frankenstein-monster look, it is completely hidden from view and should be nearly as strong as it was before.

Amusingly enough, the one we ordered back in December from Sam's just arrived in Connecticut today (eight weeks after it shipped). I think that's funny, but at least I already got my money back.
