To be a forced birther means you take away one of the most basic rights a woman possesses, the right of bodily autonomy. You render her right to consent completely meaningless. You put the worth of the woman below the worth of the fetus.

If you are a forced birther, and call yourself a feminist, you are lying.

And? Seriously, and?

It’s my body. I decide who gets to use it. That means if someone attempts to use it against my will, I am justified in using lethal force to stop them. That is true if someone is trying to kill me, true if someone is trying to rape me, and true if someone is trying to engage in a parasitical relationship with my uterus.

I am allowed to withdraw consent to the use of my body at any time. If the ‘person’ using my body does not heed that withdraw of consent, I am allowed to use force.

So, let’s go with the whole ‘fetus is a person’ thing. It’s a person, just like every other person.

Are you saying, Robin, that if I went on a date and invited the person back to my apartment, and the person decided to use my sexual organs as that person saw fit in spite of me screaming ‘NO!’, the only option available to me would be to lie there and take it because otherwise, I could hurt the person raping me? That if I grabbed a knick knack from the coffee table and bashed this person who was in the act of raping me over the head with it, I would be guilty of murder?

Why, yes, indeed, that is exactly what you are saying. You are saying that my right of bodily autonomy ends when exercising that right could damage another person.

And that, Robin, is why you are essentially a rapist. Because you actually believe a fetus is a person and think that just being a person entitles someone to completely disregard the basic human rights and dignity of a woman and use her body against her will.

Reading comprehension is obviously not your strong suit.

When I say incorrectly yes all those things count that you mentioned. But the more obvious things happen too, like forgetting to take the pill for a few days, not using a condom, general carelessness. Have I been sick that often in 4 years? I had the flu for a week once, other than that the occasional cold or cough. I missed the swine flu due to washing my hands like a maniac (I worked in a preschool and others caught it) and using Bath and Body works antibacterial hand lotion. Normally I dont like antibacterial but during flu season I use that lotion cuz it keeps hands moisturized (preschool soap isn’t kind to hands) smelling good and gets germs.

As far as how you describe enslavement-aside from rape, when you choose to have sex, protected or not, you should accept that the act comes with potential consequences (relationship-related, STD’s, or pregnancy). There is no way to protect the rights of an embryo/fetus without the pregnancy continuing through those 40 weeks (that is more accurate than months) or viability. If there were a way to do so, or if I didn’t think that abortion was taking an innocent human life, I would not be against it. Planned Parenthood on their website even states that if a fetus was recognized as a person, abortion would be murder and therefore illegal.

So just say, theoretically, that a fetus is a person (I know you feel differently). If this was UNDISPUTED FACT, would the bodily autonomy argument hold any water?
