abortion should stay legal up to the point of viability.
That seems to contradict your talk of a "woman's body" and "autonomy".
IF telling the woman what to do with "her body" is a violation of her "autonomy" why does that change when the "fetus" becomes viable?
because she is no longer an incubating host when it can survive on its own, but until then, if she is forced to remain pregnant - then that is all she is worth in the eyes of the pro birthers.
But, she IS an "host" even after the child can survive on it's own. They don't remove the child early and put it in a incubator, they "force" the woman to carry the child to term.
My point is, that your arguments are of Absolute Principles.
YOu say, "A woman's body.... autonomy", that is an absolute, with no legitimacy to any other voice.
Then you change up, and say, well, not all the way to birth.
Once you admit that society has a valid interest in the unborn child, and/or protecting it, the debate becomes one of balancing cost/benefits and judgement calls.
Once you do that, you admit that your earlier point of "autonomy" was wrong.
You don't get to play Circular Debating games.
Well, you can, but I will call you on them.
