Am I wrong

but the argument "the right to do with our bodies as I want" does not seem like an argument that will reach a lot of people. I want to reach these people, I think it can be done, but I just do not think that will work.

With that argument prostitution would be legal anywhere, anyplace. Any type of drug use would be legal. The government could not draft anyone in a war. That is just for starters.

I take a "Libertarian" view of abortion, the government shouldn't be involved.

I use that line all the time against Republicans, it makes their heads spin
