Before we go any further, how does the pro-life movement seek to "control women's lives," and how is abortion a "necessity"? I hear that sort of rhetoric pretty commonly from pro-choicers in this thread.
If we acknowledge that a foetus is human, then clearly the pro life movement seeks to give that human the right to control the bodily resources of the woman. It receives all of its nutrients from the woman, uses the woman as waste disposal, and uses space within her body. If that foetus does not have consent from the woman, then she is having her body taken advantage of against her will. Any other human does not have the right to use another's body against their will, so naturally a foetus also does not have that right, due to the principle of bodily sovereignty.
