I haven’t even heard one, outside of an ethics paper at least, that so much as acknowledges that abortion ends a human life.https://twitter.com/conservmillen/status/1128999467456372737 …

Peter Singer may be the only honest, “logical” pro-choicer out there. And his “logic” leads him to condone the morality of infanticide. If every pro-choicer followed their own line of reasoning, they’d end up there too
Judith Jarvis Thomson's defense of abortion accepts the premise that the fetus is a person from the moment of conception: https://spot.colorado.edu/~heathwoo/Phil160,Fall02/thomson.htm …

After reading this she doesn't exactly "accept" the premise more than entertains it for the purpose of a convoluted argument

The argument really isn't that convoluted (even if you think it doesn't work). The point is the argument doesn't depend on the non-personhood of the fetus to work (if it works).

It’s always bizarre to me, to hear people talk about pregnancy as though a fetus is “using” a body. That’s so thoroughly not an apt description. Pregnancy is a life function. There’s also nothing else like it. Our analogizing language tends to do violence to the reality of it
