He declares the baby in her womb is the "child's body and not the woman's" (Finnis). This is true. That body may need her body for protection and growth but the body itself does not belong to the mother. Finnis also states that pro-abortion positions are "mere (understandable) bias, mere (understandable) self-interested refusal to listen to the very same claim ('This body is my body') when it is made by or on behalf of another person" (Finnis). The pro-abortionists use the "body belongs to the mother" position when it is convenient for them but the truth is it backfires on them because the mothers only own her body and not the baby's body. Abortion kills, plain and simple. If abortion was acceptable, why don't pro-choice supporters call themselves pro-abortion?

They claim that abortion is a choice but so is life. Pro-lifer supporters are pro-choice, if you want to get technical.

I think pro-choice supporters fear having a moral obligation that might interfere with their agenda; they will hang onto Roe v. Wade and cite it because it validates something morally wrong.
