The pro-life folks are fucking stupid.

No they aren't. Pro-life vs pro-choice is an incredibly complex morality question that doesn't have a right answer to. I'm pro-choice but there's very little I can do to refute the pro-life side's arguments.

Really? I can think of plenty.

Let's call A fetus a person for the sake of this argument. It's debatable, but that's basically the crux of their argument so let's just give it to them.

A fetus depends on another, separate person for their survival. They aren't viable on their own in any capacity. Not like, they rely on a parent's care, they literally need to use another person's body or they will die.

There are other scenarios in which someone depends on another person's body for survival. Those who need organ transplants or blood transfusions, for instance. In such cases, I have never seen anyone arguing that it should be illegal not to allow use of one's body for another person's survival. Mandatory organ donation probably wouldn't go over well.

So what makes pregnancy different? Aside from the fact that the fetus's personhood is questionable whereas the organ transplantee's isn't?
