that that definition is the determining factor in our arguments. We don't, and it's not. Along with that logic problem, as I see it here, there are millions who use "intrinsic value" as some word salad front for power and control over half the planet. When you bring this issue up, you invite them in to muddy the discussion.
It's not a common sense issue, this definition. Now, when we limit who can decide on "intrinsic value," no matter its definition, then we get to the real definition of the term. I say that women's intrinsic value is to decide on who/what goes into and out of their bodies. They have the knowledge of "intrinsic knowledge" enough to serve humanity's interests well. And humanity better recognize.
When others don't agree, they presume to set the stage for promoting the "foundational" theological stance of religious dogma that teaches young and old children that "our bodies are not our own," along with all the old school ramifications of that.
There's all kinds of logical fallacies surrounding abortion. "Intrinsic value" is only one of them. If you want to privilege its use and discussion here, I think the same old sides will simply line up the way they have in the past, just under a "new" framing.
