It still gets down to when life begins and that is a moral issue and since there is no medical consensus, IMO, should be left to the woman.
To anti-choice folks, I would still ask why your belief on when life begins should be imposed on those who believe otherwise.

No, the imposition really is a matter of perspective. It's an imposition when a police officer pulls me over for going 120 on hwy 101. I'm not likely to crash. I don't do it when there's other traffic, and it's my car (my car, my choice). Still, they pull me over and no one questions it. No one calls it an imposition, which really is the reality. The majority of those who speed don't get in accidents, too.
The thing is: it's my perspective. When I start driving fast, it's actually me who's imposing my perspective on others who might be around me or who love me (if I do crash, they get sad... hopefully).
Relating that to abortion, the mother is forcing her perspective on the fetus who can't defend him or herself, by killing it. I recognize this is a catch-22. I do have to say the "my body my choice thing" is rather weak, though. Just because something is living inside you doesn't mean it's your property. That's a completely unreasonable statement. If it were reasonable, I'd walk into a very nice jewelry shop, ask to see the finest platinum, 4 karat rings, turn around, put them in a condom, and eat them. It's in my body, after all.

Also, if you are willing to force a woman to have a child, you should be first in line to adopt that baby once it is born.

Done.
