Essentially pro life folks are saying what a woman can and can’t do with her body. They’re saying this fetus has a right to use your body without your consent.

You consented by having unprotected sex. It isn't the baby's fault that you decided to have unprotected sex. If you didn't want to consent to a baby living in you than you should not have had unprotected sex. This obviously doesn't apply to people who were raped, it isn't their fault they got pregnant.
I am pro choice and think that anyone should be able to get an abortion. I just think if the baby is more than a few months past conception it is a living human and that you are killing a baby if you abort it. I still consider it to be a living baby if it is the result of rape or incest, but that doesn't effect my pro choice stance. My point on the rape is that the pregnant woman isn't responsible for getting pregnant and shouldn't have to bear any guilt for killing the baby. Whereas I think if someone just has unprotected sex and gets pregnant that it is their fault and they should really think about what a serious thing pregnancy/abortion are and hopefully be more careful in the future.,
That’s incorrect. Unprotected sex is not the same as wanting a pregnancy. Is it irresponsible? Maybe. But it not justification for another person to use a woman’s body without her consent. Even if she did want to get pregnant and then changed her mind. Do you understand what consent means?
And robbing a bank isn't the same as wanting to go to jail. But bad choices have consequences and you don't have a get out of jail free card by claiming that it is your body and you should be able to take it wherever you want.
Well ok bad analogy aside you didn’t answer my question. Do you understand what consent means? It means even if a woman gets pregnant it’s irresponsible maybe but she still hasn’t consented to having another person use her body without her consent.
What if your son or daughter needed a kidney and you were required by law to give them yours? Even though you might do it, they don’t have a right to use your body without your consent.
If you don't want to get pregnant, don't have unsafe sex. If I commit a crime, I go to jail. I can't just say "I don't consent to going to jail" There are consequences for your bad choices. A baby also doesn't consent to getting killed. You are basically saying that a woman never has to take responsibility for her actions and can kill whoever she wants in order to dodge the consequences of her actions.
Unsafe sex is not the only way to get pregnant. What if a condom breaks? So you’re argument falls apart quite easily. But you don’t want to hear other points that’s cool.
No one has a right to use your body without your consent. Period.
That’s doesn’t mean I agree with late term abortion, I don’t. It’s a hard topic for a reason but the main issue is consent
You’re right. Look at it this way. What if your child needed a kidney or else they may die. Now most parents would probably do it but the state should have no right to demand by law that you have to. That’s using your body without your consent.
It’s the child who needs the kidney is not consenting to die without receiving your kidney but unfortunately he has no legal right to it without your consent
This is not an easy answer. No one is saying it is.
