Typically, Western culture recognizes individual rights to do what they want with their own body, such as drinking too much, going hiking when it's too hot, or getting ugly tattoos. These days, even the right to use drugs is returning. So although having an abortion one day before delivery is unwise, I hold that it should absolutely be legal.

It's hilarious to me that the same crowd that fights for gun rights under the banner of "individual liberty" is very quick to invite the government into the womb.

Thank you for this. The right to bear arms crowd always says you cannot ban guns, you can only ban legally owned gun.

Well you cannot ban abortion. You can only ban safe abortions.

This is what they want. They don't want an end to abortions. They want an end to safe abortions. If more women die in labor, they are ok with it.

IDK what you are arguing for or against, but I would like to point out that overturning Roe v Wade invited government into the womb

I think you and the person you're replying to are on the same page. They seem to be arguing that abortion should be legal in all cases due to the individual rights of the pregnant person, regardless of the scenario, because individual rights apply even (perhaps especially) when society as a whole disagrees with an individual's decision.
