She does have control over those organs should she be so inclined.

The person inside her is not
her own reproductive organs" at all and that is common , even scientific knowledge.

You need to take a biology course to correct your misconceptions (no pun intended).


And it never was "part of her body."




This is not "logic." It is science. It is biological fact. You are ignorant.
A fetus is attached to and part of the mother's body until birth.

THAT is science.

Or, maybe you would prefer getting real basic......a fetus, is, in fact.....a parasite...... that cannot survive without its host.

If the host is unwilling, game over.

Wow, there are lots of so called parasites in society that many of the "host" would like to get rid of. Do you support that?

Not really. It is the very definition of a parasite: an organism that lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the host's expense.

What part of that is not accurate?

A societal parasite and a biological parasite are two different things.

I hear and read that no one has the right to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. Are there any pro choice people out there that believe abortion should be a woman's choice even say a day before she is expecting to deliver? Serious question.

No, using the more liberal analogy they are both unwanted and a drain on the host. But the left usually excuses a societal parasite.

referring to a fetus as a parasite is low, despicable... what part of that statement is inaccurate?

Only if her life is at stake. And you won't find a doctor who will perform an abortion at nine months for any other reason. I think most people who are pro-choice don't support third trimester abortions for any reason other than to save the life of the mother, so this is a straw man argument.
