So, in looking for other things, I found an image similar to the one below with a caption that read something like "Can we stop telling women what to do with their bodies?"
The irony puzzled me. This wasn't the first piece of evidence I've found that the originator wasn't intellectually all that like most post-theistic "life is a tool and we are its master" types think they are, but it didn't seem like the most insightful juxtaposition.
So, a word to the wise:
This might be a picture of a girl, but it is not a woman's body.
Bodily autonomy is not the answer that cinches it for abortion. It is the question.
You and we might be talking about issues that are related, but they are not one and the same issue. Both sides need to be reminded of this from time to time. And then we can actually have a discussion.
