Which is actually my initial point, all the way back to the beginning. That the government should not be putting the rights of one over the rights of another, and making abortion illegal does that. I admit that the embryo/fetus does not actively deny the liberty, but it is the cause of it. In the world where abortion is illegal a woman's liberty becomes immediately restricted upon gaining an unwanted pregnancy.
Anyway, this is just going to continue going round and round with no end in sight and I'm pretty bored with it. Have a good evening.
