It's my body

Having recently listened to a video non-debate between Matt Dillahunty and Destiny, I've revised my opinion on abortions. 


I no longer think abortions should be the all-in-all argument.

It's bodily autonomy. 


No one can do anything to another person that deprives that person of their bodily autonomy. Your body is your own. You decide what you do with it. 





There are arguments to be made for exceptions to bodily autonomy. To defend that position does cause one to hold some very radical views. 


Even so, I think the position is worth defending. We do need to cooperate with others in order to preserve a society. But that can be done while respecting our bodily autonomy.
