To me, having sovereignty over my own body is an absolute prerequisite to freedom. I'd be a short-sighted hypocrite if I rejected the same four women. One solution to avoiding abortions could be forced castration for some category of men to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place... E.g. any man unable to provide for a baby caught having sex gets a forced vasectomy. It will prevent abortions, so will you support such a rule? Abortions are horrible and I personally don't know any woman who would light heartedly go for one. If nothing else, they are a risk to their health and can seriously impact future pregnancies and the ability to have kids. I am all for supporting women to make abortions a much less likely choice (education, money, housing, whatever), but I remain against banning them.

If sovereignty over one's body is a prerequisite for freedom, then why is the baby's body and life being violated something that is unimportant? Abortions terminate a life with its own body that is temporarily inside a woman's body for its own debt, after 9 months the baby exits. So I ask again, why is the baby's right to life, sovereignty over his/her body never considered and seen as something that should be violated?
