the OP said that specifically in regards to choice, that people who opposed women having that choice were basing their POV on HATING WOMEN.

also, fwiw, few people go so far as to "allow" women (or men) to have autonomy and self-determination over their bodies.

if you support

1) legalizing people selling their own organs
2) legalizing sex for money (called prostitution) and
3) legalizing all drugs

then you truly support autonomy and self-determination.

most people don't.

i support 2. i am not fully in support of 3 but support legalization for MJ, and decrim for most other drugs.

also, many anti-choicers (myself included when i was one) do not see it solely as an issue of a woman and her body, because the fetus is a dependant, but DISTINCT organism.

iow, it's about the woman's autonomy over both.

personally, i believe she should have autonomy over BOTH. that's why i'm pro-choice
