As long as I have something invading my body, I'll do with it as I please. I can't see myself making a choice like that, but I don't presume to have a say in what anyone else does.
Murder is a personal choice. I do presume to say I have a moral say in whether anyone else murders.
The question is if abortion is ever murder, not if you have a personal choice when it isn't.
How one defines murder is also crucial. Contrary to many "pro-lifers," I believe war, the death penalty, and certain forms of animal cruelty are tantamount to murder, yet killing in self-defense, assisted suicide, and abortion are not.
