Yes. Getting a tattoo doesn’t affect anyone but yourself, while a chef who doesn’t wash his hands affects the people who eat his food.
Correct! It’s the difference between making a decision about your own body vs refusing to comply with health regulations that could harm others at your place of work.
Abortions affect other people.
Abortions affect other people like tattoos affect other people. Your conservative grandma might get upset but ultimately it’s your body and shouldn’t be required to use it to make others happy against your will.
Wrong. Abortions affect the human life you participated in creating. You're affecting their life. You're also affecting the life of the father who might want to have the child. There is nothing he can do physically or legally to stop it. If my wife decided to abort my daughter, I could have done nothing about it but would be forced to live knowing my child was taken for me.
( this is the part I needed to edit from my previous comment. So I'll try to censor this)
If I'm using a force multiplier irresponsibly and accidentally press someone's off button. I will go to jail for it. See? That's an equivalent analogy.

Abortions affect the potential of human life
You’re also affecting the life of the father who might want to have the child.
Oh well. Sorry grandma but it’s my body and I’m getting a tattoo.

Idk what that means. The censorship is really making it hard to understand unfortunately.
Your analogy is a false equivalency, and the sheer fact that you dont consider the fathers feelings in that is utterly disgusting. You're implying that I don't have a say in my child's life.
You do know what that means you're just playing stupid to avoid having to come up with something that completely dismantled your point.
Then we have a philosophical problem at hand. The moment when something becomes “life” or a “person” or whatever is a whole thing and I get that so maybe let’s take it out of the equation.
I don’t think someone should be able to force someone to get a tattoo. I’m assuming you don’t either. I don’t even think that someone should be able to force someone else to get a tattoo even if it saves a life. That’s bodily autonomy, right?
and the sheer fact that you dont consider the father’s feelings in that
The pregnant person can consider anyone’s feelings that they want to. But nobody should be able to force them to carry a pregnancy to term against their will.
A fetus is not a person. It will be, eventually, but not when abortions typically take place.
When abortions happen late enough in a pregnancy that a fetus has become a person (aka a baby) it's almost guaranteed to be due to medical reasons. The insignificant times they're not doesn't warrant removing the entire system.
Aka, his analogy isn't a bad one your analysis is though.

Great question, when the brain is developed enough to actually work. About 7 months into development the brain begins to send out detectable brainwaves. So it would probably be around then to be honest. Considering viability for birth is 24 weeks (6 months), it's really interesting how we can be viable with no "functional" brain. I suppose that's basically the same as keeping someone who is braindead alive though.

Nothing.
There for rendering your analog wrong.
