It [abortion] would be destruction of another's property, which IS a crime in all states if my law is correct. No one owns their body. God owns their body. So destroying the impregnated egg is destroying someone's property that isn't yours, and that is wrong because God might have wanted a person to be born by the mother.

So, if your body is really God's property, we ought to be punishing smokers, people who imbibe alcohol, people who don't eat healthy food and exercise, people with dangerous jobs, etc., right?
This is an amazingly fatuous claim, especially since you haven't even proved that any "God" even exists.
I'm pretty sure that if you check the statutes, there is absolutely no provision stating that any alleged "God" has any legal rights whatsoever, including any right of property (let alone the right of owning people as property, which most nations' laws explicitly forbid).

If that's the case, I say god should go through the pregnancy, labor, birth, and child rearing.
So, does that also apply to cutting your hair and fingernails? Do you need to check with God first?
Also, let's not discount all that vandalism that the women and 80's glam rockers engage in. Did they get prior permission? Or did the contract say it was okay?
That would certainly seem to follow from when He let her get raped in the first place, or her contraception fail, or any of a myriad of possible reasons she'd need the procedure.
But people do all kinds of lousy things to their bodies and you can't invoke a "God's property" law in court.
"...God might have..."
Automatic failure.
1) Prove the existence of god
2) Present your credentials for being his spokesman
3) Prove god's ownership of all humans on the planet
4) Prove god's ownership of all fertilized eggs
If you can do all 4,,, we might have a case. Oh, and a 2000 year old book of fairytales isn't proof.
“It [abortion] would be destruction of another's property, which IS a crime in all states if my law is correct. No one owns their body. God owns their body.”
Except God has no property rights under our laws.
“So destroying the impregnated egg is destroying someone's property that isn't yours, and that is wrong because God might have wanted a person to be born by the mother.”
Doesn’t matter any more than someone claiming Zeus owns the heroes or Thor owns the warriors.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
