I wouldn't refer to it as such other than in an abstract discussion of this issue, but technically, that's exactly what it is.

In your opinion.

In my opinion, it is a statement of fact, no more, no less.

National Right to Life Director Admits Pregnancy Is Riskier Than Abortion
Getting out of bed in the morning and going to work is riskier than not.

Does this mean that everyone is excused from work?

Absolutely not a strawman argument. The statement a "woman can do whatever she wants with her body" means exactly that.

Maybe pro choice advocates should say "a woman should be able to do anything she wants with her body until the third trimester"

What child? I was referring to a fetus, which is technically a parasite, whether you like it or not.
