Abortion discourse focuses too often on the existence or limits of a so-called right to “bodily autonomy.” It is seldom framed as it should be: in terms of duty. For any parent, mother or father, in whatever circumstances, the proper response to a pregnancy is the willingness to take any risk, make any sacrifice to protect that little poppy seed-sized life. Those who feel otherwise should seek not to eliminate the unwanted child but to correct the deficiency in their own souls.
