I'd like to bring up the concept of personal responsibility

You mean the like responsibility of the decision of whether or not to have an abortion?

No wait you want to take that away from people

First, let's assume that the woman was not raped (because most abortions are not performed because of a rape situation). Second, let's assume that the woman knew there was a possibility she would become pregnant, even when using birth control (because almost everyone knows this in today's world).

Now, you're telling me, that this woman who had sex and knew the possible consequence, gets to literally kill a human inside of her, that she and the husband are responsible for creating and putting there?

Yes.

And your use of "human" is dishonest as fuck.

Which immedately tells us what you really think about your argument and how you know it falls apart on a factual level, so you need emotionally charged language to sell it.

That'd be no different than me leaving a sign in the middle of the woods that says, "Free lodging in my house for 9 months!" and betting that probably no one will find it. But then, some random homeless guy happens upon the sign one day and comes into my house. After a few weeks of him being there, I decide I regret the decision of playing that risky little game, and the consequence it created, so I literally kill and mutilate the homeless man, right there in my house, then throw him out the back door.

Erm no. It's absolutely nothing like that in any way. That was just a load of nonsense.

For starters the fetus is not a "Homeless man" it has no nervous system, no functioning mind. It cannot comprehend the world or pain, no feeling whatsoever.

It is literally and figuratively far far far more similar to your sperm than a child, let alone an adult man. And I doubt you have any hestiation in your masturbation habbits.

For second. That "House you invited a homeless man to live in" is not your body. The fetus is inside the woman's body. It is literally a part of her and requires her to develop. Comparing that to any object or home metaphor is comical.

She has a right to her own body. Her body is her own. Something else inside her body does not trump her rights.
