Unsurprising. The pro choice argument in its entirety is based on feelings. If you restricted your argument to the facts, your entire argument could be stated as follows:

"I (state your name) favor allowing women to kill their children, without legal consequence, for any or no reason.

A parasite is what it is and if you need half a dozen or a dozen specific reasons that an unborn can not be accurately characterized as a parasite, ask, and I will gladly provide them for you.

Why should she not be given the option? Because the child is a living human being, that is why. Why should your neighbor not be given the option to kill you because you let your dog take a dump in his flower beds? Because you are a human being and your right to live outweighs any right anyone cares to invoke so long as you don't represent an iminent threat to their life.

Murder is one human being killing another human being with intent. Can you prove in any credible way that an unborn at any stage of development is something other than a human being?

Logica fallacy. Your argument begs the question and must assume that the unborn is not a living human being who is also effected to a greater degree than the woman. This is the sort of argument I addressed at the beginning. The pro choice argument is based entirely on lies, distortions, half truths, and logical fallacies. Can you present even one rational argument for abortion that is none of those things? Think about it carefully, run your arguments through your head and answer with an honest "no".
