Because of course, you've put preserving life as more important than your own bodily autonomy.

    I'm sure the right loves right to life more than bodily autonomy. Because most of them have never and will never be faced with a situation where their bodily autonomy has been or would be violated to protect someone else's life.
    That organ argument bis silly.

    Pregnancy is completely natural. Organ donation isn't, though amazing in practice.

    Donating for charity is amazing too but you don't have to be forced to do it.

    It's not. It's the same as people having bodily autonomy in every other regard, even when they're dead.

    You died and have perfectly good organs that can save lives? Too bad, unless you agreed to donate your organs they can't be touched.
    You have a rare blood type that could save thousands with occasional donations? Too bad, you cannot be compelled to donate blood no matter what the circumstances.

    Again, it's consistency, something you seem to struggle with.

    But with pregnancy you're no longer dealing with just your body
    You are dealing with just your own body. You're removing something unwanted from your body.

    It really is an 'all or nothing' situation.

    See and that's where we differ and won't ever see eye to eye.

    You're convinced that a fetus isn't a human life and is just merely an inconvenience.And honestly I don't blame you for it. I blame democrats, the media, Hollywood, and quite frankly living in a privileged era.

    It's not silly at all. After all, you are putting up your own right to bodily autonomy against someone else's right to life.

    Organ transplants are completely natural. One, because humans are part of the natural world, and two there has been evidence suggesting that organ transplants have existed for hundreds of years or more. On top of that, transplanting organs is an effective means of preserving failing life, meaning that nature has accepted it as a means of preserving life. If it wasn't natural, our bodies would reject other people's organs completely, and not just due to incorrect blood or tissue type.

    You want to hand wave it away because you don't like that I am correct. Aprox. 250,000 people in the Americas per year die from kidney failure. Everyone has an extra kidney. If we made kidney donations compulsory, we could save a lot of lives!


    But as I have correctly pointed out, this is not about preserving life. You don't give a shit about those living humans who die every year to kidney failure.

    It's about controlling women's bodies.

    No they're not.

    Transplants are a human invention. There's nothing natural about it. nOt saying I'm against them, but it's not the same as pregnancy.

    And for me it's about giving the child a chance to control their body.

    So is it happening or not? Because absent your showing us where it's happening, I'm inclined to believe you're making shit up.

    Whether something is "natural" or not is entirely an invention of humans as well. The entire concept of "natural" is a concept humans have invented. If your body will accept someone else's blood and someone else's organs, it is natural.

    So we've established that you don't actually care about life. Why is it that you want to force women other than your wife to carry fetuses to term when they do not want to? Or is this a question I'm going to ask you for pages and you're going to continue to dodge? I'll take a non answer as you don't care about life.

    So why doesn't the mother get a chance to control HER body?

    Is it punishment for having sex? Because I'm guessing it's punishment for having sex.

    Seeing as how birth control often fails, women are raped, etc. Most abortions are not about women getting abortions "for funsies". Nobody does that.

    So yes, as punishment for having sex, a woman loses control of her bodily autonomy. Thank you for confirming that it is, in fact, about the misogyny.

    No further questions.

    Untill next time! You're friendly neighborhood agnostic pro gay rights conservative.

    Just take a minute if that last sentence takes a bit to sink in.

    It's not It punishment. No one is forcing women to get preggy Like it is what it is. If men could get pregnant also I'd still be the same

    So I have a right to use your organs, blood or other tissues regardless if you consent or not?

    A lot of people who seek abortions did not want to get pregnant. They had sex and contraception failed them. So what I'm seeing is no direct rejection of the idea that it's punishment, even if you do not view it as such, that is what it is.

    What's "natural" is such a silly thing to base morality on. "Naturally", contraception (hell even medicine in general) does not exist and women dying in childbirth is fairly common. That's hardly an argument for preferring that state of affairs to the current one.

    If you engage in sex you know that there's a chance for contraceptives to fail. So if ur not prepared for that then it's your fault not the baby's.

    No I do understand them, I just feel like "right to bodily autonomy doesn't apply to perfectly viable and consensual pregnancies.

    You wanna fuck up your body with drugs and w/e be by guest. But I don't see pregnancy like that.

    But I understand the adoption and financial inability arguments to a certain extent, even if I don't fully agree.

    So with that being said, it's just a matter of a difference in values. life being the correct one of a perfect civilized society.

    You have already said you are ok with murder in some cases. You DON'T have the moral high ground you think you do.
