Love the rhetoric--"right to control their own bodies." OK, so what happens when they don't control their own bodies? Does that mean they don't have the right to lose control of their own bodies? Would losing control of their own bodies be a punishable offence?
Or do they also have the right to lose control of their own bodies? So when it comes to their own bodies they have absolute rights? They can do whatever they want with their own bodies by controlling them or losing control of them? Even kill someone else's own body, which would be depriving someone else of the right to control their own body?
Is the baby in her own womb her own body? It has a different DNA. It is not her own body. If it was unwanted, did the woman lose control of her own body? Does she have a perfect right to do that? And so have a perfect right to kill that baby? And usher in the right of other owned bodies to abort that baby which has its own body and apparently no right to control its own body.
It is a magnificent right this total control of one's own body. A right that society seems unwilling to recognize. A right, if universally practiced, would lead to societal chaos.
