... to (or inside) another person's body.
Thanks for sharing this. It makes lots of sense to me. I think the bottom line is that the definition of when a fertilized egg becomes a human being is a matter of belief, not a matter of fact. So until that child-to-be is no longer dependent on its mother's body and is able to survive on its own, the mother's body is an inseparable part of that equation. She doesn't cease to be a person with her own rights the moment she gets pregnant. And no other person or entity should be able to make decisions for her about what happens to her body.
I believe every person has the right to believe whatever they want about this issue, but I don't believe they have the right to impose those beliefs on someone else. A woman's decision about a pregnancy may impact her immediate family, but it has no potential to impact the health and well being of any third party outside of her family - unlike a vaccine.
