Can we not acknowledge that it is morally troublesome to tell a woman that her rights of action (rights which do involve -- to a very large extent -- her own body) must take some back seat to the right of the pre-born person to life? I, for one, cannot pretend that such concerns are "minor." In my view, they are huge and significant.
My right to do as I wish with my body is limited. I may not use my body to harm another person, such as by striking them. Nor am I permitted to strap a bomb to myself and blow myself up in the middle of Times Square on New Years Eve.
Abortion involves the termination of a human life (save for such instances as Stone Foetus and the like, of course) and therefore is subject to similar restrictions.
