> It's not anyone's business what you do with your body.

Sure, but abortion is also about the fetus's body. (And other things as well: dignity of humans, paternal rights [1], etc.)

> You want to protect innocent lives? [...]

You don't get to dictate what others should care about, but I agree with some of those, though often with a different framing.

For example, I think in a well-functioning society, you should be able to raise a family on a single stream of income. This is a framing currently advocated by people like Bake Masters (the AZ US Senate candidate). Elizabeth Warren (who, unlike Masters, is a left-wing politician) has also used this framing in her 2004 book titled "The Two-Income Trap" [2].

> christofascists

That's a personal attack, which I don't appreciate. Also, despite the Bible quote in my bio, I'm not a Christian.
