This is the viability / bodily autonomy argument combined. I don't think conservatives find it all that compelling as they are advocating for the rights of the unborn. You wouldn't turn off the life support of someone that is conscious but on a ventilator, right? It's the same principle. I'm just telling you from their perspective.

I think the strongest argument in favor of abortion is the consciousness argument (around 24 weeks I think).

It's not so simple otherwise we would have all figured it out long ago.
