If you read more carefully, I did not make an assumption that the fetus is a part of the mother's body. I was merely stating the pro-choice position. In fact, a classification one way or another is fairly arbitrary.

Moreover, pluralism does not bypass the crux of the problem, it sheds light on it: namely, that reasonable minds can differ as to whether or not the baby/fetus should be considered a living human.

If that were not the case, there would be no dilemma in the first place.

Please note that it is logically consistent for someone to be POLITICALLY aligned with either the pro-choice or pro-life camps yet still recognize that, from an ideological standpoint, pluralism is preferable to both.

Your first sentence is logically incorrect, and your second sentence is factually incorrect, as your suggestion is not universally accepted by pro-choice proponents.

With regards to your statement that "pluralism is still pro-choice": it may be the case that pluralists in our particular society would advocate the legalization of abortion; however, the pro-choice position and pluralist position are idealogically distinct.

The former states that, in close calls, the fundamental right that must be preserved is the right of the woman to choose. The latter states that, in close calls, reasonable minds could differ as to which right must be preserved, whether the right to life or the right to choose.

Your statement that "pro-choice people do not advocate killing a baby mere seconds/hours/days from delivery" is demonstrably false. I have personally debated the issue with people so committed to the rights of the mother that they believe her right to choose continues until the moment of delivery.

Moreover, you note that the mother could "just receive an optional c-section."

What makes it "optional" is the mother's choice to do so. If the mother refuses to have a C-section then we are once again faced with the issue of compulsion.

Not all libertarians are pro choice and not all are pro life.

The fundamental principle of libertarianism is respect for the rights of the individual.

Pro-life libertarians view an unborn child as an individual whose right to life must be protected at all costs.

Pro-choice libertarians do not view a fetus as an individual but of course views the mother as an individual whose right to choose must be protected at all costs.

Consistently innovative sounds and moody atmospheres, fitting lyrics, beautifully eerie harmonies and maddeningly addictive melodies...what's not to like?

Radiohead gets my vote for sure.

Radiohead all the way. Glad to see others agree. The only weak album in my mind was Kid A, which for some reason, is also the most consistently praised.

If the question were: "which show has funnier isolated bits of shock humor?" then Family Guy would get the nod. Under every other possible category, Futurama wins. Futurama is smart, cohesive, quality story-telling with great humor built into the foundation. Family guy is a rambling, drunken mess with a few fart jokes or racial epithets thrown in here and there. Don't get me wrong, both are funny. But Futurama is clearly the better show.
