We own our own bodies regardless of whether or not there is a fetus growing inside of us. We each have sole dominion over our bodies, minds, and lives, and nobody including government has any legitimate authority to tell someone else what they must or must not do with thier body.

She was willing to let the fetus out, but not at the cost of having herself cut. She, and she alone has decision making power over her body and should not be punished under any circumstances for choosing not to go through surgery whether or not something growing inside her would live or not.

She is under no obligation to go through surgery and government has no legitimate authority to make her or to punish her if she doesn't.

To say she should be punished for choosing not to have surgery (regardless of what occurred as a result of that decision) is to say that we are slaves and the government has more claim on our bodies, minds, and labor than we do for ourselves. In other words we the people are property and our owner is the government.

Of course the reality is that government is the servant and we the people are its masters. And the powers granted to government are very limited in scope.
