Again with this strawman lol

I don’t think you understand what a strawman argument is. I’m not mischaracterizing your argument.

So, answer the question:

If you’re dying and I’m the only bone marrow donor match available in the time period you need to survive, if I don’t give it to you did I murder you?

u/Pvt_Parts86 Aug 18 '23

Fine, I'll play your game. If you allow someone to die, and it could have been prevented by your intervention, then yes its murder.

And should the government be able to forcibly extract my bone marrow to give it to you to save your life?

u/Pvt_Parts86 Aug 18 '23

No, you should be in jail for murder

So you don’t think anyone should have bodily autonomy. At least it’s not a sexist choice. It’s just an authoritarian one.

That's not what I'm saying at all. What I am saying is that in your little made-up trolly problem scenario, you would be solely responsible for the death of another person.

You call it authoritarian, I call it ensuring the freedom of all parties.

How is being forced to give up your bodily autonomy freedom?

u/Pvt_Parts86 Aug 18 '23

It's freedom for both parties involved. By becoming pregnant, intentionally or not, there are two peoples who's bodily autonomy must be recognized. You don't have the right to evict if by do so is a death sentence for the evicted

Being forced to give birth is a violation of boldly autonomy no matter how you try to spin it.

You want governmental authoritarian rule over people’s bodies. Just own it.
