Perhaps it's because my belief in Christianity ticks them off and Aswad doesn't carry that burden, but neither one of us thinks government should have the say in it.
I certainly carry that burden. Most of the posters on this thread are quite aware that I have beliefs that would probably receive the label "Christian" and, on this account, no small number no doubt shake their head slightly and think "why would an otherwise reasonable person believe in that BS?", with a few probably thinking "such a pity he still clings to that belief" (even though there's no clinging involved). There have been instances where people have dismissed my arguments on grounds of my person on the basis of this belief, but it is fortunately a fairly rare occurence.
Of course, I don't think Christianity is incompatible with abortion, either.
And, as you say, the government should not have the right to requisition a woman's body to serve as life support for a foetus. Else, one has precedence for permitting the state to use our bodies when it is deemed necessary, a precedent I would not care to introduce, ever. Kind of like universal organ donation meets institutionalized slavery. If my neighbour needs my bone marrow, I'll probably provide it, but never because the state believes itself to own my body and to have some right to manage it like so much inventory.
IWYW,
— Aswad.
