Hardly. Once your born you're physically separate from your mother, a full human with full rights.
When extending rights based on viability as you stated, it only stands to reason that "unviable" humans have no rights.

You:
That's where I think the *legal* line ought to be drawn. But it should be up to every individual where their personal line is drawn.

Me:
You are ignoring individuals who are refused such rights. That makes such a law a violation of human rights.
I don't understand what you're saying here.
"every individual" does not have such rights as you state to draw that line. You are suggesting that only a select few individuals have the right to exist. This is the problem with the so-called "choice". It removes every choice of another individual.

Hardly. Are people who are adamantly opposed to abortion forced to have abortions?

The current standard is reasonable, not an extreme all-or-nothing standard.
It is reasonable only to those that will go on living after the procedure. Are aborted humans not forced to face the result of this? It is a forced action upon them. You're preface is that this action is reasonable. And to those that oppose killing innocent life, it simply is not. It is not extreme to stand up for fellow humans that are being killed, at least not to those of us that don't wish to extend rights based on viability.
