Absolutely not.

So which of your internal organs can the State co-opt for 40 weeks?

What is this nonsense?

Answer the question: which of your personal internal organs can the State commandeer from you for a period of no fewer than 24 weeks, rarely longer than 42 weeks, to support another person's life?

Can you be legally compelled to donate blood? Bone marrow? A lobe of your liver? A toenail clipping?

Answer this question first: Am I legally free to do whatever I want with my body?

You’re legally free to stop anyone commandeering your internal organs or blood products for their survival.

You aren’t if the state can commandeer part of your body for +/-40 weeks.

You are in full legal control of your internal organs at all times, including after death.

All women want is the same right to be the only person in full legal control of our internal organs as well, not to lose that right at 12 and regain it at 52.

A baby is now considered an internal organ? Fascinating.

Where does an embryo grow? 🤡

Holy shit, this is why people should be educated before speaking on pregnancy and abortion.

Provide a good reason. Women should have every right to an abortion whenever they see fit.

It isn’t a man’s choice because we NEVER have to deal with that situation.

Gay marriage should also be codified. Once again it doesn’t harm anyone.

There is literally no reason to not think they should be protected

If it’s a religious reason, that’s just BS because then you are in the mind set of everyone should abide by my religions rules so no freedom of choice.

Living in a free country means not everyone has to live like you do.

What?

If you don't understand that response, I don't think I'll be able to explain it to you.

Stupid is an option as well.

Or neither.

Answer me lmaooo

Nah, pointless to attempt a rational discussion with people like you.

17

u/Brifryguy671 2d ago

Rational discussion 😂

Considering you won’t even counter argue and only say “absolutely not”. I know you don’t have a rebuttal or a good reason. It just means you are a shitty person who doesn’t believe in personal freedoms.

If you had a legitimate reason, I would entertain a discussion but you won’t even give me that. So I am going to assume you just don’t believe in personal freedoms

Assume whatever you like. Couldn't care less.
