I agree, also I think that argument justifies the mother somehow withdrawing the supply of life support to the foetus but not forcible eviction. We don't allow a property owner to open the door, shoot a squatter and drag out the body. I was only providing the argument as made by pro-lifers.

Personally I'm a Brit and I'm satisfied with the consensus here. I'm simply not willing to support coercing women to forcibly carry babies to term against their will, even if the foetus does have a right to life. Even accepting the pro-life argument, the resulting savage life ruining oppression of vulnerable women necessary to actively enforce that view is utterly abhorrent to me. It's a hypothetical, but even if I was vehemently pro-life I still like to think I wouldn't support such policies.
