1. Mother aborts nearly-born baby. 2. Someone other than a person gets a say in what that person does with their body. 3. Something I'm not imagining.
I'll take #1 over #2. I don't know what #3 (or #4) would be; do you? That's not a trap; rather, I'm suspicious when complicated situations get reduced into binary decisions, and thus, I'm suspicious of my own reduction here.
Also, I think your "on a whim" clause is derailing. I realize analogies are suspect, but you've basically said "Wow, you think breaking someone's arm on a whim is okay?", whereas I'm saying "I think there are times when it's okay to break someone's arm."
