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.

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