Let's just get this out here while I'm on a rant.
I can't be compelled by the law to give blood to a dying person, even if my special blood is needed for their special body. My organs can't be harvested to save other people's lives without my prior consent, families' desires be damned..
So why is it that I (the general "I", not me. That would take some serious work.) could be legally compelled to carry another person/being without my consent? Even if that person would die due to my actions/inactions?
Would I get an abortion electively? No. But I am only me. I don't hold it against other people who wish to do so since that is their choice for their bodies. This is about autonomy, pure and simple. When live uteri have less legal standing than blood and DEAD organs, we have a problem. A big problem. AND I AM LIVID! Heck, a donated uterus could have more rights than that same uterus in another person!
But there's my rant. Opinionate from here so should you choose.
