"if the cornerstone of legalizing abortions is 'government has no right to tell a woman what she can or cant do to her body' then why is prostitution illegal?"
I know right. To be fair, I can't take credit for that statement. It was made by someone else and I was like "Great point!"
So if their argument is that abortion is about a woman's choice to do what she wants with her body, why would it be illegal if a woman wants to sell her body? I'm saying though. And if gay marriage is legal because whatever between two consenting adults should be legal, why say it's wrong if two consenting adults want to put a monetary price on their sexual... activity?

It isn't the cornerstone of legalizing abortions that's why.
Roe v. Wade is dependent on the right to privacy, specifically between a doctor and patient, and that the public have no compelling reason to know the circumstances for any specific treatment.
Not that I don't think that the government has any right to tell anyone what they can do with their body, but Abortion isn't dependent on it.

Good question...
Indeed. If two consenting adults decide to boink and make it part of a financial transaction, what business is that of anyone? Coercion, human trafficking and whatnot needs to be illegal, obviously.
