I read this yesterday about pro-control/ pro-forced births. What do you think about it?

Here’s the thing

It doesn’t matter.

It doesn’t matter when life begins.

It doesn’t matter whether a fetus is a human being or not.

That entire argument is a red herring, a distraction, a subjective and unwinnable argument that could not matter less.

It doesn’t matter whether we’re talking about a fertilized egg or a fetus, or a baby or a five-year-old, or a Nobel Prize-winning pediatric oncologist.

NOBODY has the right to use your body, against your will, even to save their life, or the life of another person.

That’s it.

That’s the argument.

You cannot be forced to donate blood, marrow, or organs, even though hundreds of thousands die every year on waiting lists.

They cannot even harvest your organs after your death without explicit, written, pre-mortem permission.

Denying women the right to an abortion means we have less bodily autonomy than a corpse.

Human dignity and the right of women to have the same autonomy over their bodies as men do is more important than individual religious conviction. The forthcoming clash is likely to destroy the authority of the Supreme Court and further undermine the rule of law in the land of the free.

Exactly!! If they're so concerned about the life of unwanted babies, there's a simple solution: Make every male get a reversible vasectomy at puberty. This would end unwanted pregnancies.... problem solved.

@Randi1125 Yep, to my mind that is a reasonable and less offensive solution.
