So if you want to make an argument about who has control of a fertilized egg, based upon DNA contribution, the mother wins. She also owns the incubator and chemicals necessary to sustain that egg.

as all of us are, it is not simply what a woman chooses to do "with her body" technically. If it was just her body, she'd be able to get pregnant with nobody's help

Why does ova and sperm combining give the government the right to force a woman to bear a baby? That argument addresses only the interests of the sperm contributor. The government still has nothing to do with it.

That is simply language the pro-abortion crowd uses to shout people down or stop any further thought or deliberation on this issue, because, since 1973, they have the decision they wanted from the Supreme Court.

Yes, you use the terms murder butcher baby, the pro-choice, anti-government takeover of woman's bodies to force births crowd uses those words.

I wish more of the anti-abortion crowd, who care so much about developing fetuses, would give a damn after those babies start breathing oxygen, and for the duration of their lives.

Joey - I certainly respect your beliefs and passion about the issue of abortion, and you are welcome and free, in this country, to legally continue to pursue your goals regarding changing the law reference legal control of it.
