Body autonomy

A dead woman has more rights than a living woman.

Read that again and let it sink in.

No one can force you to give blood. It's illegal.
No one can take organs from a corpse. It's illegal.
No one can perform an operation without consent. It's illegal.
It's simply against body autonomy.
But women have to sacrifice their body autonomy for nine months to carry another human being because some people view a foetus as a human life.

For any other medical procedure which is partially self inflicted, it seems to be fine...
Smoked 50 cigarettes a day and need chemotherapy for lung cancer? That's fine.
Drunk 10 bottles of vodka and need your stomach pumped? Fine.
Drove recklessly and need plaster casts to fix four broken bones. Fine.
Fallen pregnant and need an abortion. This is your fault and you will have to live with the consequences. 

If pregnancies could be transferred to men if the woman didn't want to carry a child there would be calls of "it's unethical to force someone to carry a baby!"
Yes we know. Sort it out. 


Have a beautiful day x
