I do not think my response commits the is/ought fallacy because I am not arguing "A woman is not legally allowed to do what she wants with her own body, therefore she ought not to be able to do what she wants with her own body."<br /><br />Rather, I am simply pointing out that the view "A woman <b>can</b> legally do whatever she wants with her own body" is plainly false.<br /><br />A pro-abortion choice advocate (and even a pro-life advocate) may argue that women <b>ought</b> to be able to do <b>whatever</b> they want with their own bodies, but that would be a different discussion dealing with the abolition of drug laws, prostitution laws, suicide laws, etc. <br /><br />In a country where these laws have already been abolished, and a woman really <b>can</b> legally do whatever she wants with her own body (so long as it doesn't "harm" another), then I would simply argue the second point, i.e., this still wouldn't apply to abortion since the body of the unborn is not theirs.<br /><br />What do you think?

Thank you for it. But as a wannabe apologist myself I tried to see if there were any loopholes in any of the refutations. The only one I found was In argument #3 The woman has the right tondo what she wants with her own body. You argue firstly that this is false because a woman doesn't not have the right to do "whatever" she wants and then you cite drug laws as a reason. However, isn't this just a different way of committing the is/ought fallacy yourselves? As in, "Because the law is that you can't do what you want with your own body, we ought not do what we want with our own body?" or otherwise stated just because suicide is illegal doesn't mean that we ought not do it.
