Dishonest, ignorant, supersitious, woman-hating and sexually dysfunctional. What's not to despise?

If you don't approve of abortion, don't have one yourself. it's fair enough not to like abortion. It's not fair enough to actively involve yourself in removing other people's human rights for your own stupid malevolent faulty reasoning.

To play devil's advocate to the 'if you don't approve of abortion, don't have one yourself' argument, you could say, 'if you don't approve of people beating children, don't beat your children.'

Abortion is complicated because there is a second person involved. Some people see that second person as a clump of unfeeling cells with no rights. Some people see it as a human life. Many people see it as something in between. This perspective is what shapes people's opinion.

The 'woman's body, woman's choice' argument is simplifying the debate down far too much because it assumes everyone sees the foetus as a part of the woman's body, like an appendix rather than as a separate being.
