        Not to mention that childbirth can be deadly for either party involved on a good day. It’s naive to think that every fetus is going to come into the world alive. I have personally known people who aborted a fetus that they desperately wanted because it was essentially non-viable, and not worth the risk to the mother. They later had several other healthy children, who would not have existed had that aborted birth been traumatic enough.

      Humans deserve rights. One of those rights is NOT to use other people’s bodies though.

      If I’m dying of kidney failure I don’t get to force you to donate your kidneys to me. Quite the opposite, thanks to bodily autonomy. That thing you hate when it applies to other people.

          How. I woman being forced to carry a child to term appears to me to be the same as you being forced to donate a kidney. They both involve involuntary use of a body for someone else’s benefit.

          It’s actually an incredibly relevant and appropriate equivalence, since restricting access to abortion care means endangering women’s lives in cases where the pregnancy is non-viable or there are other serious complications to the pregnancy.

      They are fucking clumps of cells and fetuses, not babies. The to-be-mother is a fucking adult human (and only a child in some cases) with fully grown nerves cells and developed emotions.

      Why don’t we put them in artificial wombs at the expense of the state and create a child army? Then when they age out of the military they can have full citizenship! /s

      We’re not talking about babies. During the first trimester, when most elective abortions occur, that “baby” is the size of a grape, and barely has the beginning of organs. It can’t think or feel, let alone experience consciousness.

      Your attempts at trying to paint abortion as killing an actual infant is disgusting.
