I don’t think an appendix is exactly analogous, but at least in the early period it should not be subject to protection against its own possible future mother. If you extend the logic of “potential human” far enough back, you can ban contraception too (some people will say masturbation, but that’s a reductio ad absurdum if there ever was).The blue laws are constitutional even if the day off happens to be on Sunday simply because it’s the one that more people would want to choose anyway. It’s like closing government offices on Christmas, otherwise a non-secular holiday. It would be wrong if the government enacted or amended the law today and still called it “the Lord’s Day.” So you are calling it a fetus. I agree that there is a legitimate secular interest in protecting a fetus. |
