Would you like examples in pop culture? Or would you prefer biblical references instead?
Take the CONservitive movement known as Quiverfull. That's a fine example of women-as-property
Right, a few thousand or maybe a few tens of thousands, AKA a fringe few who up until you name-dropped them I had never even heard of. And I've studied the entire 2000-year history of Christianity extensively. Now compare that to the millions upon millions of pro-lifers from every (non-)religious and ethnic background in this country.
Then there are the countless examples in Evangelical TV where women are told to submit to their owners--erm-- "husbands".
And all that men are "Head Of Household, Lord And Master" from the bible.
All of that language? Is husbands own their wives, and daughters.
And by the same token, husbands are to serve and honor their wives, as Christ gives Himself for and honors His Church. Both husband and wife engage in mutual self-giving in Christianity, and the husband is to love his wife as he loves himself.
Fetuses are not human beings-- not yet. No more than a human liver is a human being, or human sperm or human ova are humans.
The difference between an unborn child and an organ or cell that belongs to another human is that an unborn child is its own entity. It engages in its own biological processes, even if it does rely on the mother for sustenance and a safe place to grow. They are, by definition, living human beings, and not just a part of the woman's body. They check off every box on the list of a living creature--engage in metabolic processes, adapt and react to their environment, maintain a state of homeostasis, grow and develop, and are composed of cells.

They contain the potential-- but the fact is? Most fertilized human eggs die on their own-- with no intervention on the part of anyone.
Yes, miscarriages happen, and the resultant loss of human life is tragic. Hence why mothers are devastated when they figure out that they've miscarried at any stage in pregnancy.
Based on? What? Feelings? Wishes? The bible?
Mainstream and well-accepted science which I've linked to above.
Because even the bible does not agree with them-- it clearly says that First Breath is the beginning of life.
Psalm 139:13-16.
Unless? She is PREGNANT-- then she is relegated to a BODY SLAVE OF THE PRECIOUS FETUS.
The pregnant woman has NO RIGHTS OF ANY WORTH.
And yet we don't cry and moan when we don't let parents beat their children or throw them out on the street or prevent them from going to school or refuse them medical care or do drugs around them.
It is old and tired because it is the most accurate representation of so-called "pro life" crowd.
PROOF: NONE OF THE ANTI-ABORTION LAWS HAVE PROVISION FOR DOCTOR CARE OF THE FORCED BIRTH, NOR FOR THE FORCED NEWBORN UNWANTED CHILD.
NONE.
That's because the Hippocratic oath and medical ethics state that doctors are always to do their utmost to preserve life and serve all patients. You don't need to pass laws that tell doctors to do something they already do--provide neonatal care. As has already been pointed out in this thread or another, parents are free to give the child up upon birth in the hospital if they so choose; there are laws governing this.
That proves to 100%? ALL THEY REALLY WANT IS TO PUNISH WOMEN FOR ENJOYING SEX.
Ahh, now we've gotten to the rub. It's all about consequence-free sex. You're right, we do need to allow easier access to non-abortifacient contraceptives if people can't afford it, and we do need to have better sex education; my school was great in that regard. But we also need to teach both young men and young women to have sex responsibly and to exercise discernment and self-discipline in their sex lives. "Free love" causes more problems than it solves (and it doesn't really solve that many problems if we're honest), and the skyrocketing rates of single motherhood in this country and dads who fly the coop and refuse to take responsibility for the child they fathered are appalling.
