 They do. It’s the bodies of their children that are in question. 

If women could simply evict unborn children from their wombs without killing them, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. But they can’t, this is the real world, actions have consequences, words have meaning, there is right and wrong, and killing your own children is so obviously wrong that it’s hard to take any argument for legalizing it seriously. 

The desire to separate actions from consequences is folly. And the renaming of unpleasant truths with trite euphemisms is pure cope.
