If you kill a child that is already born, then that's just normal murder, whether it's yours or not.

You don't have the right to kill someone just because they depend on you.

And Siamese twins don't have that right all the time. They don't get to kill the other just because they want to revoke consent.

A fetus is literally connected to the mother's body, and using it to keep itself alive...that's why the discussion is about bodily autonomy, and not welfare, because this is about the literal use of your body. NONE of your metaphorical examples apply to this, nor do they have anything to do with bodily autonomy (granted,…  Read more
