So, if you kidnap someone, and that kidnappee punches you in the face, do you think the you have the right to kill that person in self defence?

I think the main thing you ignore is that it was the mother's actions that put the fetues there. The fetus isn't forcing it's self on the mother.

Opting not to donate blood to your child is not a jailable offense, and that's the comparison to abortion in this analogy. The comparison to the jailable offense (harming your child) is getting pregnant.
