Story idea

In a "pro-life" future, fetuses have been given full citizenship. By law, transparent windows are installed in all pregnant mothers so that the fetus can directly observe the outside world. A harness with robot arms is attached to every mother, wired so that the fetus can control the arms. Perhaps a fetus-controlled shock device is wired to every mother so that the fetus can force her to walk where the fetus demands.

The title of the story: "A Womb With A View".

On a borderline related note, I was reading an article today about a new generation of "pro lifers", young people who focus on trying to take down sex slavery and sweat shop slavery conditions in the third world with a religious fervor, and how they are butting heads with "old school" pro-lifers who only want to prevent abortions, and don't care either way about whats going on outside this country.

That sounds positively Borg-ian.
