There is no fundamental human right more critical than near-ultimate control over one's own body. If the state can make decisions like that for you, freedom becomes meaningless.

(Also, fetuses aren't people and banning abortions is pragmatically futile.)

TL;DR: I'm about as pro-choice as a person can be.

When forced to choose between these binary terms, I'm pro-choice

Basically this.  I’m pro-choice but often find myself more horrified by some pro-choicers’ brazenness and rhetoric regarding the issue than anything I see on the pro-life side ... see Corbynite and Blairite.

Forgive me for taking the bait, but why exactly? If you see something as a fundamental human right key to a free society (as I do with abortion), what is so shocking about coming down firmly on one side? How would you suggest I approach the issue instead?
