Well here's the thing:
I respect any woman who chooses not to have an abortion if they get pregnant. They have that right to make that choice to carry their pregnancy.
If you are against abortion, then don't have one. I will respect your choice.
If you are against donating a kidney, then don't donate one. I will respect your choice.
If you are against being host to a medical experiment, where you won't know if it will kill you in 9 months or not, I will respect your choice not to allow your body to be used in such a manner.
Now it's your turn to respect my choice.
If I'm 15 and get date-raped by my 16-year-old boyfriend because he never learned that "no means no" and get pregnant, I will have an abortion. You don't have the right to tell me I can't.
If my sister needs my kidney and both of mine are healthy, I will donate mine. You don't have the right to tell me I can't.
If I want to help medical science improve on vaccines by allowing a pharmaceutical company to use me as a host for their new formula, then I will. And you have no right to tell me I can't.
I respect your choices, you respect mine. Abortion shouldn't be a legal matter at all. It shouldn't be "permitted" and it shouldn't be "prohibited." It is a medical procedure, and a private matter between the patient and physician. No one should be forced to host a growth in their body against their will, male or female.
