The "it's a woman's right to choose" sound bite some people use as their main defense seems easily debatable.

It's a phrase that appropriately summarizes the USSC decisions:

Roe v. Wade (United States Supreme Court, 1973)
Doe v. Bolton (United States Supreme Court, 1973)
Planned Parenthood v. Casey (United States Supreme Court, 1992)

I don't think I was telling you that you were "wrong" (I didn't mean to say that, anyway). I think I was telling you I disagree with you. I don't think you are "wrong". You just have a different basis for your ideas, and want a different kind of society. That's fine. (Unless I said you were wrong about what I said- which is different. People often misconstrue the wording of people with whom they do not agree. I do it myself. It's hard to get in another person's head and understand their words the way they meant them when they are coming from a POV you don't accept.)

Everything (or almost everything) is debatable. There are people who will argue almost any position under the sun- and in many cases there is no right and wrong (imo), there are just different assumptions, needs, and wants.

"Sound bite"? The use of such expressions are used to divert attention from the problem when logical discussion is not available.

Sounds like you have no argument for propagandizing against the law of the land other than "sound bite".

The only argument you produce is that legal abortion is murder. And you can not produce legal documentation for that postulate.

I hope that clears up why you, in my optic, are wrong.
