Forced to Carry... Birdie

A woman can't be 'forced to carry' and then 'give' birth. A gift by definition cannot be forced. When giving birth becomes a legal mandate, it is no longer a gift. In many US states, a woman has lost her right to give birth.
. A gift by definition cannot be forced

Correct. Because when you force a "gift" on someone and ignore consent then it is no longer gift but an imposition, a violation.

In many places, women are trapped in an endless cycle of pregnancy and child rearing which means they never get to go to school, pursue a career or make a decision about what they want out of life.

The important factor here is consent because everyone has a different experience of life. Different challenges, ambitions and priorities.
There is no reasonable way one can classify a woman losing the right to make a choice about what happens to her own body as a gift.🙄

P.s. In what places have women lost the right to give birth?
@GrinNude

Oh i see what you're saying. You mean right to give birth as in the right to choose whether or not to give birth. I thought you meant that in 29 states women have lost the right to give birth at all.

@Pikachu thanks for your feedback. I have edited the original post so it is now hopefully more clear.
@GrinNude

@SW-User Lol earlier I heard that in the 80's, A&W tried to compete with McDonald's quarter pounder by making a ⅓ pounder for a lower price. It failed because people thought it was smaller. 😂

@SW-User An embryo is not a baby. Could you freeze a baby for 20 years? Like you can an embryo? Is discarding a frozen embryo murder? I think not.

Well to be fair that was the case throughout most of history

Infanticide has been the point at which the unwanted child is killed

So it has always been a bit of a stretch to use the euphemism 'the gift of life'

@SW-User Not really. For most of the time that we have been on this planet, we were tribal hunter-gatherers with an extensive knowledge of plant medicine. Including the knowledge of plants that could terminate pregnancy.

@GrinNude yeah that's the mythology but the extensive practice of infanticide would kind of suggest otherwise

Unless you think that knowledge was lost in civilisations that shifted to agriculture - in which case, fair enough, interesting view
