I know this sounds like a weird question, but someone said that a woman has the right to kill a human being because it happens to be in HER body, and since it is HER body, she should have the right to decide the fate of the human being that is inside her.
It made me wonder if taking away a woman's right to do whatever she wants as long as it concerns HER body is a slippery slope that can end with a woman having no rights to her own body, such as a man just being able to sexually assult her as he feels fit??

The fact is a woman doesn't have the right to do everything she wants with her body nor does a man. She can't just cut out a kidney and sell it. Suicide is illegal. Prostitution is illegal. You can't just do whatever you like with your body. That is what makes the pro-choice argument ridiculous.
With that being said I would rather the pregnancy be terminated than having another unwanted uncared for child born.

You are a moron.
First of all, there is no such thing as "abotion". Try using spell checker, my goodness, it is free!
Second of all, only a moron would make the leap from having "the right" to kill someone within one's own body to having no rights with one's body. What other rights to one's own body could be restricted? I can't think of any.
In case your small mind can't do the work by itself, rape is a crime. As such, performing said crime would still be ILLEGAL, regardless of whether a woman had "the right" to her own body (whatever that means.)
You want a slippery slope? Go skiing.

Well, rape would still be illegal. I wouldn't suggest it.
As a side note, there are other laws concerning your own body. Suicide isn't legal. Also, your slippery slope prediction is pretty much just ridiculous. That kind of comment will only lose credibility.

No, it really is quite different. Abortion kills a baby, an individual, just because the mother doesn't want it. The baby didn't do anything to warrent being murdered. Making abortion illegal won't take away a womans right to be safe, it just will give the unborn the same protection.

Does that mean that is a man takes a fancy to your body, god knows why, doesn't' mean your body is fair game too, and he can have his way with you

this misses the point of the pro-life position: the defense is on behalf of the child's body. restricint/taking away the right to abortion is taking away a woman's right to chose the fate of her child's body.

The US would have to slide pretty far down that slope to get there.
Try Saudi Arabia or Iran.

If abortion suddenly becomes illegal in America, it would infuriate millions of Americans. They'd suddenly have a reason to care about politics, and they'd head to the ballot box in droves to turn out each and every Congressman who wouldn't pledge to support it.
