"My body my choice" a favorite phrase of conservative anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers.
How hypocritical that this belief doesn't apply to someone else's right to choose.

One thing I think they don't get, or care about, is the personal and societal consequences of having to keep unwanted pregnancies - mainly how much it makes life more difficult for everyone involved. And that with the difficulty, it comes degraded social relationships, unhappiness, substance abuse and crime.
Another thing I think they miss is that lots of people will have abortions regardless. Affluent people will have the safe abortions, and the less fortunate will have risky, potentially life-threatening, horrible abortions. Where there's a will, there's a way, so again, crime increases, and the desperate women's health will be in danger, becase the procedure has to go unchecked.
The cynic in me sees this as an intended effect. American companies want cheap labor and maintaining an impoverished working class helps provide it.
it would be like if you woke hooked up to another person who was relying on your body to survive. sure they're a person, but you never consented nor have to continue giving consent for them to use you in that manner
