Yep, those are the simplistic answers.

At 38 weeks it was my body too. In fact, it was my body earlier than that, perhaps as early as 23 weeks. It is outrageous to argue that you can do damage at 38 weeks that would be illegal at 42 weeks. It is ridiculous to ignore the difference between 38 weeks and 6 weeks. Making a moral and legal argument for the right number of weeks is much more complicated than "my body, my choice."
