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, or marrow, or organs, even though thousands die every year, on waiting lists. They cannot even harvest your organs after your death without your explicit, written, pre-mortem permission. Denying women the right to abortion means we have less bodily autonomy than a corpse.

Honestly, this is a pretty good rationale. It doesn't stand up to my simple belief that murder is murder, and that conception the beginning of life and thus an abortion is murder.
The problem is that the two sides are irreconcilable.
Glad we are winning, 6-3 right now.
Nah, its still fake n gay af.
The best analogy is its like inviting a tenant to sign a 9 month lease, and then at some random point prior to the end of their lease, the landlord goes apeshit and tries to lock out the tenant and even suggests they committed burglary and are squatting. When the cops show up, the landlord tries to argue its their property and they can do what they want with it and nobody can tell them who can and can't live in their house. Any suggestion otherwise is an egregious violation of real property autonomy. Even though this entire scenario was avoidable in the first place by simply not agreeing to sign the lease to start with.
People are retarded how they want freedom from the consequences of their own actions at all times at any cost.
I don't disagree with you. But their argument is relatively well-posited regardless if we disagree with it. In the end, life vs choice is our Trump card.
Very good perspective. Watching someone drown in the ocean is a lot different from holding their head underwater. Of course their argument is pure comedy from the very beginning given their noted vaccine stance
Yeah, that vax inconsistency is a bit problematic for them.
