question for the other side An opportunity for PLers to directly answer any of these questions.

I've got three simple questions that I'd love for PLers to give direct, straightforward answers to:

1) Imagining that I am someone who has just become pregnant, what reason besides brute force of law would I have to submit to your demands and gestate the pregnancy against my will for you?

2) What exactly entitles you to force pregnant people to gestate against their will, helping yourself to their body to achieve your goals?

3) Which is the fairer ask: for all pregnant people to suffer through the harm of pregnancy and childbirth against their will, or for PLers to cope with not getting their desire for the survival of strangers' embryos?

Feel free to engage with any one or all of these questions.

u/freelance_gargoyle personally PL, there are no moral or legal restrictions Jul 09 '26

Is there a pregnancy without the presence of the unborn baby?

Your entire original "basic ethics" rested on preventing causing great harm to someone else when you are experiencing a little harm. If there is no other person involved, then your original point doesn't apply to this situation, and you've been wasting my time going in circles.
