    Give me your kidney. I need it to live so you have to.

    No? I can’t force you to use your body to keep mine alive?

    Then why do the same to women? Because we want to imagine some “responsibility” for “their actions”. And as soon as rape and coercion never happen we can have that conversation. Until then, let’s leave it to the ladies to decide what they do with their organs.

    You say “would be alive tomorrow”, but that’s false. They do not, ever, abort something that is completely viable outside the womb. The process for aborting that late is basically induction, and when you do that, now you have a living baby that you can’t murder.

      Read what the person who I replied to said. They said as long as the baby is in the womb, it’s ok to kill it. Hence, they believe it’s ok to kill a baby that would be born the next day. Unless I’m misunderstanding something.
