Read it again. Gestation is a service. Forced gestation against a woman's will is involuntary servitude. The abortion argument is about slavery, whether you want to admit it or not.
Slavery was about slavery, not young white teen sluts from the burbs getting abortions. But hey you want to talk about slavery, let's talk about slavery.

My Body, My Choice, is an argument based on a false premis.
The premise is: "
It's my body".
This can be interpreted one of 2 ways, depending on what is meant by "my" or "mine":
- The unborn is literally another part of the woman's body, just like the woman's kidney, tooth or arm.
- The unborn is the woman's property.
- To the first interpretation: The unborn is literally another part of the woman's body, just like the woman's kidney, tooth or arm:
All of the parts of a woman's body share the exact same DNA. The unborn has a distinct and unique DNA. All of the parts of a woman's body are connected by a central nervis and circulatory system. The unborn is not connected to the mother's circulatory or nervis system. The unborn has it's own systems, circulatory, nervis, reproductive, respiratory, etc.
- To the second interpretation: The unborn is the woman's property:
When one person owns another, this is called slavery, which is illegal and invalid.
Therefore, it's not her body, it's her child's body, and while she remains the obvious custodial parent, she is still bound by all ethical standards every parent is already bound to with regard to caring for children under their charge. These standards are governed by Public Policy and Law, which therefore makes the matter every voter's and tax-payer's business.
I am a voter, I pay taxes, therefore I have a Constitutional right to an authorative voice. No single voter or tax-payer decides any legal issue arbitrarily, but collectively, and nothing diminishes my contribution.
