Is abortion a fundamental right?

Bodily autonomy is a core condition of equal liberty.

Bodily autonomy over one's own body is a foundational liberty, and denying it forces unique, life-altering burdens onto people that no other medical context permits the state to compel.

Proponents argue abortion is a fundamental right to bodily autonomy and health, while opponents contend it violates the moral status and rights of a fetus.
