(um last i checked, my uterus was MINE, nothing elses. if i don't want a fetus gestating in MY uterus, i have the right to have it removed.)
your uterus isnt yours.. its part of you.. if it houses the fetus.. then its the feti's property.. and you have no right to invade that feti's house with your hoover without its consent

So by the same reasoning... if you get liver cancer... the liver is housing the cancer, so it's the cancer's property... and as such if i want to have the cancer removed I have to ask first?
The first comment is a little idiotic but the answer.............following that account, I hope this guy doesn´t ever need an organt transplant. Otherwise, he´d had to be attractive to the future organ.
Except that, even if the fetus was considered a human being, as a minor he can't have private property. By your logic, if I stab you with a knife you must wait for te knife to fall off, you can't pull it out yourself.
As much as I agree with the first woman claiming property rights to her own body, I'm honestly more upset by her inability to express herself in any coherent way than I am by the second poster's batshit insane fundyism.
Christ, what's this obsession with making women property. Firstly it's of men, then it's of blastocysts, what's next pets?
It's funny. It's part of me, but it's the property of somebody else?. What if I'm not pregnant, can I have an hysterectomy?. Idiotic, to say the least.
"your uterus isnt yours.. its part of you.."
Yes, that's right. It's a part of MY BODY. That makes it mine. The fetus is a guest. And sometimes, it is an uninvited guest. And I have the right to evict it.
Even if the fetus is considered a human being, it doesn't have the right to use my body without my consent.
If a man is dying of kidney failure, and I'm the only person who can donate, I have the right to say no. Even though he'll die if I don't give him one of my kidneys, I have to the right to refuse to let him use a part of my body.
If doctors held me down, sedated me, and took a kidney by force, even if it saved that man's life, they would still go to jail. Because it's my body.
The fetus is in the same situation: it needs my body to live, but I don't want anyone using parts of my body. Therefore, it is my right to refuse to allow the fetus to use my womb, despite the fact that the fetus will die. That's called the right to bodily integrity .
Confused?
