"Someone else" has already made a lot of decisions on what a woman does with her own body. Why does this one get to be different? (And that's not even getting into the fact that the unborn child is not "her own body").
Well, apart from taking the dump (which would be an environmental quality issue as it would be considered raw sewage) I don't think any of those things should be illegal. All are restrictions on individual liberty.
