  • Owed? I don’t think anyone is owed anything by default. I think someone who needs a kidney is a much higher priority than someone who wants an abortion.

    I don’t think the term “bodily autonomy” is applicable to abortions at all. You can already do whatever the heck you want with your body. I don’t think though that the healthcare system should be a part of it unless there is a medical condition that requires treatment. A normal pregnancy is just not that, it is a perfectly normal healthy condition.

    Speaking of “costs money”, I don’t get this argument at all. Especially in the US, where it just costs money to live your life. It is often illegal to be homeless and illegal not to pay taxes (that left wibg people advocating for) therefore just being alive is taxed. So I don’t have a problem with a “tax” on leisure sex.


  • But nobody denies a woman the right to decide what happens with her body? At some point some women decide to have sex (an act meant for reproduction), then don’t take readily available plan B (which is available OTC in every state) and then when a fetus begins to develop, has it’s own DNA, heartbeat etc…this woman decides she wants it out of her body…I don’t see why the healthcare system should be assisting at this point. Should it also assist with mutilating organs, chopping off hands and doing other stupid things? Because people have rights for their bodies. Having a fetus is not a violation to somebody’s body rights.

    If you are going to die without a kidney I would say it is a much higher priority for the healthcare system than somebody having an unwanted pregnancy (perfectly normal condition)
