Scratch that. Your argument is terrible.

Right to life does not trump bodily sovereignty.



No such thing as bodily sovereignty.


Yes there is. See the US constitution for starters. Stop living in a dream where your opinion and only your opinion should be forced on everyone else for advanced level.

Pro-choice. The future of a clump of cells does not trump an adult's bodily sovereignty.

Though I believe there is an argument to be made for outlawing abortion once the fetus is viable outside the womb.

You say this as if it supports your position and counters mine. This is mistaken.

This is in point of fact exactly WHY women should be able to access abortion services on demand. A fetus is not some special flower that deserves more rights than the woman within which it resides and from whom it takes resources. If all are to be held as equal, then forcing the woman to carry a pregnancy against her will is violating that equality.

Its not death, its just a clump of cells, it doesn't feel. Now, if your several months into the abortion and people can visibly tell that your pregnant, that's where I have to draw the line.

Deprivation of Bodily Sovereignty for any length of time at all. Saying otherwise is excusing rape, slavery, and forced organ harvesting.

By that point the woman has already decided to keep the pregnancy anyway.

There's been a long line, since Comrade Sanders socialized the healthcare system and put a Soviet Abortion Dispensary in every village and town in America.

The doctor is using a method tested on getting guinea worms out of your leg: rolling the fetus out of the belly by stick. It takes only a few weeks for guinea worms, but much longer for fetuses.

You should stop going to back alley abortion clinics and brave the crowds of protesters to get to a legit abortion clinic.

But it is your choice to do so with it. If you say bodily sovereignty doesn't exist then I have free reign to do to your body anything that I wish, whether it affects your quality of life or in cases chance to die from.

Both, I suppose. You should, within reason, be able to pursue an abortion if you deem it necessary. However as a general rule it should be avoided as much as possible.

the only requirement to being pro-choice is that you leave the decision to the pregnant woman. what you like and don't like and what you think you would decide for yourself aren't important to the definition.

And what a truly arbitrary line that is. People who support abortion really do go by the "out of sight, out of mind" mantra--if you can't see it, it's fine. I mean, it's just a clump of cells, but then, aren't we all just clumps of cells?
