But they aren't my already-born children. They are a lump of nerveless, unresponsive (except for the most basic stimulus response, which I believe even an amoeba has) cells.

 

This is the argument you should be using.  Not that we're controlling your body, but what constitutes a human. 

 

 And, for most of the pregnancy, they aren't nerveless, or unresponsive.

 

Well no, I'm using the right argument. You are forcing me to do/not do something which can POTENTIALLY become a human and ruin a life or whatever. That's government controlling your body and quite frankly, very scary, far worse than any tax, gun law, or whatever.

If we're going down the "it will eventually feel and have feelings and be alive, etc." route. Then why don't you just outlaw masturbation and jacking off? Why don't you start giving taxes for funding on how to stop women from having their periods and perserving eggs? Sperm and eggs are all a potential humans in the future!

TYour earlier argument was about anti-abortionists advocating government controll over your body, which is untrue.

" You are forcing me to do/not do something which can POTENTIALLY become a human and ruin a life or whatever".

That isn't our position.  We think it is a human, right then, not potentially.
