You don't support Capitol Punishment and I do not supportabortion"individual liberty and bodily autonomy" when someone wants the child.
Not really sure you are using the term strawman correctly.
It is a strawman, because I do not support abortion. I seek to end the need for the procedure in all but the most dire situations. I just support greater access to contraceptives, greater access to health care, better reproductive education, etc., as a means to that result instead of the state stripping people that have committed no crime of their personal liberty. I only support the state denying someone their liberty in the case of a criminal conviction, and I don't support the state, or anyone else, really, denying someone their life unless they pose an immediate threat to the life of another.
