The only disappointment I received from the touching authenticity of your post,
was the small matter that it did not address my question. I had asked: what
makes the private business, between a woman and her doctor, any of
Christopher's business?


I guess you didn't understand my post.

The slaveowner considered the relationship between himself and his slaves private business.
The restaurant owner considered whether or not he would allow blacks in his restaurant a private matter.
Men who abuse their wives consider it a private matter.
IMO, where there are abusers and abused, there are no private matters.
Now, of course, you don't consider the relationship between the woman and her to-be-aborted child an abuser/abused relationship. Which is, of course, your right.

But for those who do consider it an abuser/abused relationship, it is not a private matter.

Hope that answers your question this time.

As to whether I would go to jail for your rights, uh, don't count on it!
