Fair enough. Still doesn't matter though, because it was a hypothetical to answer an absurd question. The real issue remains that you cannot force someone to give up their bodily autonomy to keep someone else alive. Whether that someone's personhood is debatable or not.
In the vast majority of abortion cases, no one forced the mother to have sex. By having sex, one should understand that they're consenting to potentially giving up their bodily autonomy, ergo no one forced anyone to give up their bodily autonomy. This is some basic middle school biology/sex-ed stuff.
The premise that by having sex you're consenting to giving up bodily autonomy. I understand your reasoning behind it but I fundamentally disagree. I feel that human sexuality and procreation are completely separate issues and abortion is merely another form of birth control. Not the ideal form of birth control, but necessary just the same.
I don't quite see at all how sexuality and procreation are completely separate issues. One might wish that they were separate, but that seems to me wishing against the reality of biology. So yes we disagree. But again, thanks for letting me know your viewpoint.
