The argument made for the case of abortion is that it’s a woman’s choice what she wants to do with her body. And to the extent that we’re talking about her body, I couldn’t agree more.
Tattoo? Go for it.
Piercing? Have at it.
Cut your hair? Dye your hair? Cut your finger nails? All yours.
But does there exist a moment in time when the “woman’s body” transforms into the body of the child? That is, is there a time, after conception and before literal birth when the collection of cells goes from a biology experiment to a living human?
