Dlew I'm surprised to see you take this stance. Your post is a fair bit of misdirection at what people are actually claiming and doing versus narrative. 99% of abortion people would want less abortions. Making them illegal only puts people at risk. The comparisons as people have noted to murder are just absurd. It's about state control of the human body. If there were a similar mens issue KSUW would take over a wild life refuge to protest the state limiting his right to it. The overall attack is less about abortion and more about control of women, which has gone on for centuries.
Some well thought out arguments here.
Whether or not you agree with it doesn't change the fact that most people's default argument for choice centers on the principle of the government telling people what they can and cannot do with their bodies. This country has embraced this uniquely conservative issue for decades and the justification has shifted while the underlying issue at hand has always remained the same: government controlling the female body. The irony is that the party of life only gets on that moral soap box when its abortion and is literally 180 opposite on every other level of protection of life, from death penalty to social services.
But that's a little disingenuous to frame the argument that way. I don't give a crap what women do with their bodies. Get tattoos! Do drugs! Work out! Get breast implants! Become sterile! Have kids! Don't have kids! Do literally anything -- but do not harm anybody else.
And I'm sure you feel the same way, but contend that "anybody else" doesn't include unborn babies or fetuses or whatever you'd like to call them. And
that, I submit, is the actual "underlying issue."
"You want control of women's bodies" is as disingenuous as "you want to kill babies."
