"""I believe you should be able to stick a heroin needle in your arm, and you should be able to engage in prostitution, and you should be legally allowed to commit suicide."""

You may feel that one should be able to do all these things, but the fact of the matter is that of right now these activities are illegal. And so, we do not have full jurisdiction over our bodies. Therefore, the argument that "It is my body I can do what I want," is baseless.

I sincerely enjoyed your other well thought out arguments, Thank you for expanding upon the issue. I hope you don't mind if I use them the next time I argue with a pro choicer aka (pro abortion)

By the way- I feel it's so unfair that you felt you had to state that you didn't hate women to justify your having a point. Men who are pro life are often put down in an abortion debate by some femiNazi who says something along the lines of "You couldn't possibly know because your not a woman."

It's as if your not entitled to express how you feel because your man. It really is sexist.

Perhaps, but the point of debate is to talk about what the law should be, not what the law is. If I believed the fetus were not a person and hence had no rights, I'd answer the argument "there are a bunch of other things you can't do with your body" with "yes, and I oppose that".

I usually answer that one by asking if the person who made that argument also believes that only Southerners should have had any say about slavery, or if only taxpayers should have any say about taxes. Sometimes I go on to say that just as ex-slaves like Frederick Douglass went on to become the most vocal and eloquent supporters of abolition, I am an ex-fetus and I continue to fight for the rights of my brethren in the womb.
