I'll phrase it this way: do you believe maintaining the position that a woman's privacy is paramount,
Yes. 100%.
...even to the extent of relinquishing/shirking any responsibility to the sustenance she may bear her unborn child,
Here's our disconnect. I maintain that the blastocyst/zygote/embryo/fetus is 100% mother's body.
Only when the cord is cut does that mass of cells become a CITIZEN, subject to and protected by the law-of-the-land.
...without which said unborn child/fetus/embryo/zygote etc. would likely die,,
This seems to be an unintentional straw-man (and an appeal to emotion). The mass of cells that is 100% mother's body is subject to the mother's whim. The mass of cells has the same legal status as a parasite or a tumor.
...is (logically/philosophically/ethically) consistent with maintaining the position that she is bound to assume responsibility for a born child/infant--
At the moment the cord is cut, the mass of cells becomes a CITIZEN, subject to and protected by the law-of-the-land.
...privacy be damned--
Please explain this statement.
...until she can transfer her obligations to an institution/individual who would relieve her of her duty to the infant as its parent?
Transfer her obligations may be as simple as abandoning the child at a designated safe-haven.
Regardless, the only "obligation" she has is to adhere to the law-of-the-land.
I detect no logical incoherence in birth-right-citizenship.
nOW, on-the-other-hand, bestowing CITIZENSHIP on a blastocyst is a logical pile of spaghetti (and a personal-privacy nightmare).
