> I don't see how it matters whether the fetus is alive or not. If it can't survive outside the mother then the mother has the right to kill it.

I shuddered a bit reading this. By this logic, at any point where I am dependent on someone else for my survival in passage (say an airplane) the principle in the relationship (the pilot or airline) has a right to kill me?

If that’s the logic, then we can squarely see that we have chosen to punish those who have any responsibility in that situation. Re: wrongful death

Having sex is not agreeing to carry around another person for 9 months. Consent is important. I don't think society has agreed that we punish people who kill others in car accidents, but I'd love examples of when we have and the person at fault wasn't drunk.

Consent isn't a question in the Texan law. Get raped by your dad? Have the baby or get sued.
