I don’t think very many people who are “pro-choice” are actually pro-abortion. The crux of the issue is that people will be getting abortions whether they are legal or not, so there should be a safe option for those people (as opposed to backroom doctor, coat hanger, etc) which requires it to be legal and regulated
I should know better than to explain anything to homeschooled randroids

That’s not a particularly persuasive argument, to see why replace “getting abortions” with e.g. “stealing” (pro-life people would replace it with “murder”).
Having something done to yourself VS doing something to other people, there’s really no comparison here. The science is sound.
Not that people with grade school equivalent knowledge of politics are worth arguing with (I mean you by the way). Dunning-Kruger alarm bells ringing. Don’t worry, you’ll get laid one day

Heh. It’s interesting how you assume the real crux of the issue away.
The real crux (IMHO, of course) is whether and when a fetus stops being a chunk of tissue and begins to be a human being. There are two endpoint views—at birth and at conception—and a variety of intermediate positions.
Your post assumes that the fetus is a chunk of tissue so when you are doing something, it’s to yourself, not to another person. But that assumption is precisely the root of the disagreement.
