 My body my choice in the context of abortion is just power projection without accountability.

Your brain is a few steps away from:

I have the power, my choice, you can die.

If you can’t fight for the sanctity of life in your own body, how can I ever trust you with power over others? As soon as the pressure is on , you capitulate and abort (kill the challenge to self). No self sacrifice for another’s life. 

Before rape or incest is brought up as an exception, all I am asking for is that you fight for an innocent child’s life. Giving up for adoption to a loving home is always an option. I know many people that are unable to have children and they have abundant love waiting to be given. That is all.
