The whole problem of the abortion debate is that it is actually *two*
debates intertwined into one.  One, whether the government has the right
to tell one what one can do with one's body (most would say no),

This issue aside, I can't agree with this. Goverment should also protect us
from ourselves. If one were to decide to take ones own life, one would
expect "government" to get involved.

Why should we EXPECT government to get involved with a choice over our own
lives, if it does not affect others?

That's just plain WRONG.
