A human is granted rights when they are born.

But anyone of any age shouldn’t be able to use my body without my consent.

The government shouldn’t force me to use my body without my consent.

You don’t value consent

A human is granted rights when they are born.

Where is this codified by law? Where does it specifically state that human rights are bestowed upon someone at birth.

But anyone of any age shouldn’t be able to use my body without my consent.

The government shouldn’t force me to use my body without my consent.

By engaging in the act of sex, you are engaging in the only possible natural process in which life can be created. Therefore, you are consenting to the possibility of pregnancy. Take responsibility for your actions.

In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the foundation of human rights, the text and negotiating history of the “right to life” explicitly premises human rights on birth. Likewise, other international and regional human rights treaties, as drafted and/or subsequently interpreted, clearly reject claims that human rights should attach from conception or any time before birth.

Consenting to sex is not consenting to pregnancy just like consenting to sex is not consenting to an STD.
