We're pro-choice because you're not allowed to be inside a woman's body without her consent. Your age, gestational or otherwise, is irrelevant.

Wearing a short skirt is not consent to have sex.

Parking your car in a shitty neighborhood is not consent to have your car broken into.

Driving your car is not consent to be carjacked.

Sex is not consent to carry another human for 10 months.

What part of this don't you get?

As entertaining as I find this position, I have a hard time believing that “abortion as self defence” would hold up under any legal scrutiny.

Why not?

Do fetuses get extra rights to violate bodily autonomy?

Literally don't have sex and you will be fine. What's so hard to understand that fetuses are alive? They can feel, sense, touch etc. You think you deserve to kill other human beings because you made poor unplanned decisions?

No ones denying that a fetus is alive, however it can't very well feel, sense, or touch at the point in development when it's likely to be aborted.

Not all abortions are due to unplanned decisions, but even those which are...you think you deserve to let people die, put their health at risk, deny women equality, force people to continue a pregnancy against their will regardless of how severely it could impact their mental health or life, not to mention the feel, sense, and touch of actual children who suffer when born to families who don't want them?

I think I deserve to kill another person if that person is violating my rights.
