My point of course is that many woman who choose to have an abortion disingenously use the argument that they have a right to do what they want with their body, even though their real agenda is that the baby does not survive.

You are falsely characterising something as disingenous when it is valid. The statement "I don't want the baby to survive and I have the right to do what I want with my body, so I'm going to get an abortion" is consistent and makes sense, just as "I want to get high and I have the right to do what I want with my body, so I'm going to do drugs" is consistent.

No, I think what DS is saying is that, *if* the pro-abortionists' claim boils down to "I can do what I want with my body (including any life form attached to my body against my wishes)," then logically that claim no longer applies once the fetus is alive and well and is no longer a part of a woman's body.

Reread the quote I was responding to: "many woman who choose to have an abortion disingenously use the argument that they have a right to do what they want with their body, even though their real agenda is that the baby does not survive"
