oh my god this is why we lose all the goddamn time. why do pro choice people have to make the fucking worst arguments? this comparison is dumb for multiple reasons. viability is arbitrary and irrelevant, and most importantly could be subject to change. some people talk about the fetus technically being a parasite; that makes you sound psychotic.
there's one argument here: freedom over your own body. you shouldn't be legally forced to undergo an operation for someone else's benefit. yes even if the fetus is a person, it's viable, can feel pain, whatever. there's literally no other situation where that is even remotely legal. you can't be forced to donate an organ or blood to your own child. the only reason one is forced and one isn't is because of the general idea that men will be in one of those situations.
there's no reason to accept their framing on any of this and try to beat them in some sort of logical trap. they'll move the goalpost. they're not serious about any of this. this is and has always been about controlling the woman, and the counter therefore should be about the woman.
everything about the fetus is just bullshit. if they cared about the fetus they'd argue for its wellbeing literally at any point after the first moment of its birth but they don't. THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANY BABY. why would they care about a goddamn chick? no it's always only about women. the baby stuff is a smokescreen to get you to argue mind numbingly stupid shit like this.
oh my god if I were arguing with an anti choice moron and someone "on my side" would butt in with "but we kill chicks though" I would smack them across the face. stop being weird.
Animals should have freedom over their bodies too. It's hypocritical to be pro-choice, but then force cows to have arms shoved up their anus to be artificially inseminated for dairy products by buying their secretions. It's hypocritical to think you deserve total control over an animal's body for taste pleasure. Be vegan.
There are 80 billion land animals killed for trivial, unnecessary reasons every year. Stop breastfeeding off of another species in adulthood and paying for chicks to be thrown in blenders. That's fucking weird.
