So, abortions for anyone who wants one, right? Birth control for anyone who needs it? Trans people allowed to participate in sports?
Stop pretending the right has no interest in controlling people's lives.

I'm certain that I'm butchering this. Also, to be clear, I am NOT advocating one way or the other on this reasoning, just giving what I can remember about the reasoning. Again, not my reasoning or advocation.
If anyone with a better understanding of the reasoning would comment, that would be great! Thanks.

The crux of it is that suicide rejects the gift of life
"Everyone is responsible for his life before God who has given it to him. It is God who remains the sovereign Master of life. We are obliged to accept life gratefully and preserve it for his honor and the salvation of our souls. We are stewards, not owners, of the life God has entrusted to us. It is not ours to dispose of."
The problem is Catholics are telling others to suffer. Ironically, in the US, it’s under the banner of the “small government” and “freedom” party.
