Can an unborn child’s “right to life” ever outweigh the pregnant woman’s right to “procreative liberty” in choosing to elect an abortion in consultation with an available licensed physician— prior to the ability of the fetus to survive on its own, with intensive hospital care, outside of the pregnant woman’s womb—and if so, then under what circumstances?” The specific question is “Is it unethical for the government to restrict access to abortion in cases where the doctor knows that the pregnant patient believes that the unborn child has Down syndrome in cases of Down syndrome, since such abortion discriminates against these disabled unborn children?”
