It's also not a very conservative position to say that the state should have oversight of women's bodies while they have "occupants". Abortion can be legally restricted or outlawed, but the question here is how far a conservative is willing to go to limit a woman's freedom of action when she is pregnant. Some responses I'm seeing here are surprisingly totalitarian.

This is all really a level of logic we shouldn't have to descend to on Free Republic. The state already has oversight of women's bodies while they have occupants. Already has. With your support. Are you unaware that it is illegal to pull your unborn child's head ("the occupant") out of the uterus and suck out the brain? If this is illegal at any point then, again, we are not arguing about the line. We are arguing about where to draw it.

No surprise at all if one has been paying attention to these... FR rules forbid me from continuing.
