This recently occurred to me . . . "My body, my choice" reminds me of Shakespeare's play, "The Merchant of Venice". In the play, a debt collector (Shylock) requests a pound of flesh from a merchant as payment for treating him poorly. The demand was fair, and the judge agreed that the debt collector could take a pound of flesh, but the contract said nothing about the collector taking any blood from the merchant. Thus, women can be in charge of their own body, but the baby's body happens to belong to another, and is not included in mommy's mantra of "my body, my choice".

YES the baby could have a different blood type than the mother! Certainly different DNA.
WOMEN fall for the argument that they are entitled to abort?!?
