Birth control available without doctor visit in Colorado

Anything beyond that is an attempt to impose your morals on other people.

So laws against murder are imposing my morals on other people?

Honestly, I think the biggest setback to the pro-choice movement in decades was when they pivoted from "a fetus isn't a baby" to "a woman's right to control her body" because it's like they left the debate and went to another room to have a debate all on their own.

Most pro-lifers believe that a fetus is a life to be protected, and banning abortion is essentially an extension of making murder illegal.

Pro-choicers who prattle on about "a woman's right to choose" are completely missing the point, because nobody thinks a hotel owner has the right to fill their hotel with cyanide at 3am, even though it's their property and their building.

Yes, people have a right to control their own bodies. And yes, if you don't believe that a fetus is a human being, then that includes the rights of women to get abortions. But you can't leapfrog the "fetus isn't a person" thing just because it's uncomfortable or difficult.

(And if you made it this far without flaming me assuming I'm a pro-lifer: I'm pro-choice. I believe that a person is the sum of their thoughts, memories, dreams, and aspirations. A person is their personality. That's why to me a fetus is naught but a "potential person" that hasn't been started yet, and that's why a woman has the right to get an abortion - at least until the fetus is naturally viable on its own)
