I agree and I'm very pro choice. But, isn't the issue more than just about controlling your body?

@ValerieRaya Yes, but there's also the issue of the moral status of the embryo/ fetus. Not all people who are pro life are misogynistic. It might be convenient to think so, but debates like this are rarely as simplistic as some make them out to be. [edit: Ooops this was addressed to James.]

@ValerieRaya I see the point, but for example, let's consider the case of connected twins. Let's say if you separate, she dies and you live. Does the right to control your own body extend to killing your twin sister by separating from her?

@ValerieRaya Very thoughtful reply. If you care to continue, I have two questions. "I find it immoral to deny anyone the most important human right at any point." So as you well know the standard pro-life answer to this is to claim the embryo/fetus is being denied life when it is aborted. Doesn't that show we do consider on some base level the moral status of an embryo or fetus? Finally, do you have some thoughts on my "Siamese twin" scenario? Is there no moral grey area in granting you the right to effectively kill your twin sister? I'm inclined to say, obviously, no you do not. But I feel unsure of my footing here.
