But the fetus is in your body and is taking your nutrients. It will also weaken your bones because it will take the calcium if you don't get enough.  A fetus isn't a person, either. It's not even sentient. A person has individuality, a mind, self-awareness, and sentience. A fetus doesn't. A fetus doesn't really have much of its own body either until it's able to survive outside of the womb.

And if a woman doesn't want a fetus to use her resources and be in her uterus, she can remove it if that's what she wants to do. Pregnancy is very taxing on the body, and maybe she doesn't want to go through that. Especially if she got raped. Do you support forcing a woman into giving birth to a rapist's spawn even if she is young because it is "not her body"? What about children/very young teenagers? I guess they can't get a potentially life-saving abortion, then.

To put it very simply: if you don't want a fetus, you have every right to abort it without being judged and called a murderer (because, you know, killing a fetus is on the exact same level as killing an infant, or child, or adult because a fetus is ~*just as sentient*~).

BTW anti-choice is anti-woman/anti-women's rights. It is also potentially pro-abandonment and pro-rapist.
