It is a privacy issue. Some of these women pro lifers are nuts to begin with. Take Karen Cross The Media director for the National Right to Life - She had TWO ABORTIONS herself! Got Pregnant 3 times while unmarried and regrets it. Most of the right to life people I know are like that. (Cross is a real case, another article states she walked in front of a car to attempt to kill herself so I question her mental stability in making rational decisions about ANYTHING in her life, let alone telling ME what to do)
The whole overturning Roe v Wade arguement defies privacy, and certainly libertarian and conservative thinking....
Their arguement is abortion should be illegal (i.e. Yes, we women exercised our choice and had them, now we regret it - DUH - and we want to prevent you from the same thing)
Does this not defy all conservative logic to say we need the government to protect ourselves from ourselves?

Your reasoning is fatally flawed. Just because Karen Cross had abortions doesn't answer the question of whether or not a fetus is a person. Using your logic if Andea Yates regrets having drowned her 5 children in a bathtub then drowning your children in a bathtub becomes a "privacy issue". If the fetus is not a person then there is no individual right to protect and it is an privacy issue. But if the fetus IS a person....well you get the picture.
