Holy Crap This is Brilliant!
From friend W.D. who got it from A. N. Robinson.
Perfect analogy for this whole "BUT OMG IT'S A LIFE" argument: - W.D.
"If each party to a potential abortion is a full human being equally protected by the Bill of Rights and all that, whose rights take precedence?
And there, the opposition doesn’t have a leg to stand on, for one simple reason: we don’t force people to use their own bodies to save someone else’s life. Even if you’re the only organ donor match for someone who is dying, you are not compelled to risk your own life and health by giving them a kidney. It may be a selfless and laudable act to do so, but we cannot legally compel someone to do that. We don’t force people to enter burning buildings to rescue people trapped there. We don’t force people to donate blood or bone marrow. We don’t even force people to get vaccinations (though I wish we could.) Therefore, we cannot force a woman to use her body as a host for another “person” who will die without that host. Whether it was her own willful act caused that host to be there in the first place is irrelevant: it’s still her body, and her choice about whether to use it to support the life of someone else." - A.N. Robinson
And there we are.
