That's precisely why I think an argument from property rights and self-ownership is more morally, legally, and philosophically sound, as I said. Your body is the most intimate and important property you have, to be secure in your person is one of the most fundamental rights. Being forced to host another life within your body and an infliction of suffering by the state, and in my view a violation of the right to security in one's person. I think that is a right that supersedes the rights any fetus may have, as unfortunate as we may feel the outcome to be.
Moreover, there are a lot of places where we morally and legally permit people to kill, that doesn't mean that we like killing or condone it in general.
