What's the matter, America?

IN the primaries for the presidential elections in the United States, it seems that abortion is the shibboleth. Candidates win or lose on the basis of their disposition toward abortion — and most Americans, it seems, want abortion recognized as a right.

The typical argument: My body, my choice! The problem is therefore clear: the refusal to recognize the embryo-zygote-fetus as a human being. For if one did, then one would clearly realize that abortion is a decision not only about one's body but about another's life.
