It seems trivially true to me that:

• My rights as a person end where yours begin.
• Your rights always include the domain of your own body.
• A current person takes precedence over a future or otherwise hypothetical person, with the boundary moderated solely by the best available science of the time (and never, ever by religious or other pseudomoral ‘frameworks’).

So many self-identified Christians (particularly, but by no means limited to, Catholics), Muslims and others impose brutal restrictions on women’s behaviour, rights and roles, much of it seemingly founded on a bizarre and outdated belief that a woman’s ability to bear young corresponds to a responsibility.

Let me make this perfectly clear: a woman has no duty of reproduction. Not personally, and not socially. She has a right (in sound mind) to determine the outcome of a pregnancy, and a wish to not carry to term does not - and cannot - constitute a failure in judgement, or a lack of ‘womanhood’. The very association is contemptible, reducing women to little more than offspring-producing automatons.

This, oh so this.
