I'm not usually one to jump in to the abortion debate - frankly I'm undecided on the issue. However, one pro-choice argument we often hear is "it's my body" or "it's a woman's body, nobody has the right to tell her what to do with it."
Without taking a stand on the abortion debate - that argument is bullcrap. I call it like I see it - that one is intellectually dishonest.
A woman's leg belongs to her as well. If a woman went to the doctor and asked him to cut off her leg, there isn't a doctor in America that would do it. So clearly "it's my body I can do whatever I want" doesn't cut it in the medical profession.
Similarly, we don't allow doctors to take people's lives who are suicidal, even though it's their body.
So please find a more logical argument to support your pro-choice stances.
Thanks!
