As it was, it read exactly as if the point was, "So, you pro-choicers think a woman should be able to do whatever she wants with her own body, huh? Well, how would you feel if what she wanted to do was FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION? And how about if she also wanted to GENITALLY MUTILATE her infant daughter? Not so sure now, are you?"
And it's a total fallacy anyway, because by definition, she would not be doing it TO HER OWN BODY. She'd be doing it to her daughter's. And unless we're doing the whole "fetuses are people!" thing, she'd be doing it after the child was born, at which point pretty much everyone agrees that the child is an individual. So it STILL makes no sense.
