[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hit home for me too, OP. When I had my last kid, I had my tubes removed for this very reason. I have plenty of fertile years left, and I just couldn’t chance an oopsie pregnancy given the state of things.

As someone whose family members are going to need living organ donations, though, I really do look forward to the legal possibilities of a post-Roe world. If the state can force a woman to donate her heart, uterus and kidneys for 9 months to save a life, it can also force some pro-lifer to donate an O-Neg kidney or at least their blood to save lives. And if children and fetuses are now public goods, that’s all the ground we need to start rescuing children from their religious wacknut parents. If the Constitution doesn’t expressly provide a right to decide your own family, it certainly doesn’t provide a right to homeschool.

How is forcing you to not kill a life (with kidneys and heart and brain) the same as forcing you to remove one of your kidneys? I’m pro choice (up to a certain point) but this makes no sense.

It’s giving up part of your body, perhaps against your will, for the benefit of another.[/quote]

What part are you giving up in the fetus in womb scenario? [/quote]

And this is why people are saying this is being done to women by men.

What part are you giving up?  On this board alone in the last few months we have had women have strokes during delivery, women with permanent nerve damage, women who almost died and if you read the newspapers (particularly in Mississippi) women who died. That’s for *wanted* children. You believe women should be sentenced to death or lifelong incapacity over children they do not want to (or medically should not) carry? [/quote]
