Dead bodies
I found this a couple years ago, and I think it is a good day to repost it. I did not write it, rather it was lifted from a Reddit forum.
It is a very good read. (Sorry about the quality, but it is a picture of a picture of a saved picture)

(6,833 posts)Everybody knows you can't allow control of a person's life to the person living it. One must consult the bible fairy. Surely, you're not advocating that all the little people storing their bible-defined guilt under their pillows for the bible fairy to fix should be disappointed. You must be careful. If you're not careful, all the little Christians might, one day, come out onto the streets gnashing their guilty little teeth and lay waste to everything they don't want to think about.

(24,370 posts)And the author of the piece narrowed his focus of the argument to the one stated; Bodily Autonomy.
Personally, I think one of the primary driving forces of the white conservatives opposition to abortion is and always has been their knowledge that they represent a shrinking demographic. Thirty three percent of abortions are performed on white women. They want that to be zero. They dont really care that black and Hispanic women get the procedure, but if no one got one, it would mean more white children.
