The religious extremist, like Paling Palin, believes that at the very moment a sperm penetrates an ovum the woman is no longer a citizen with rights but is instantly reduced to the status of an incubator for a single microscopic cell. And that she never has any right to try to prevent any sperm from invading her ovum. Her rights are denied in advance.
