                Fine.  Then, by the same token, you should be
                punished for engaging in behaviour that harms
                life -- such as smoking, drinking alcohol, overeating,
                not getting enough exercise, not getting enough
                sleep. . . .

                Why not?  If a woman does not have absolute
                sovereignty over what happens to her body,
                why should you?
