@RepublicanHQs@JamieBonkiewicz The principle always remains the same: No one has a right to a woman’s body without consent. If a fetus has the right to use a woman’s body against her will, you’re giving a fetus more rights than any born human being on Earth possesses
@RepublicanHQs@JamieBonkiewicz The five minutes argument is a red herring because majority of abortions happen long before a fetus is even capable of surviving outside the womb. But legally and socially we draw a line at birth because that is when an individual becomes a separate and autonomous entity
@RepublicanHQs@JamieBonkiewicz Unique DNA and a heartbeat aren't indicators of personhood. A person who is brain-dead can have a unique heartbeat and distinct DNA while on a ventilator but we legally and ethically allow families to end that process because the person is gone
@RepublicanHQs@JamieBonkiewicz Wrong. When you say a fetus's right to life overrides a woman's right to her own body, you are the one admitting that the woman’s life, health, and future have zero value to you
@RepublicanHQs@JamieBonkiewicz Nope not dehumanizing. Pregnancy is a massive physical undertaking that involves the shifting of organs. Depletion of nutrients. Significant risk. In any other area of law dependency doesn't grant you access to someone else's body
@RepublicanHQs@JamieBonkiewicz Nature also intends for viruses to spread and for people to die of infections we use medical intervention to stop those natural processes all the time
@RepublicanHQs@JamieBonkiewicz Whether the child is healthy or dying of a disease doesn't change the fact that they have no right to occupy a woman’s body without permission. You’re saying that because nature put the fetus there, the woman loses her status as a person and becomes a state-mandated resource
@RepublicanHQs@JamieBonkiewicz You're hung up on the word kill because you want to equate a fetus to an adult. We terminate processes that are in motion
@RepublicanHQs@JamieBonkiewicz You act like pregnancy is just a nine-month waiting room. It’s a huge medical event with physical changes and potentially life-threatening risks. No one should be forced to undergo a massive medical procedure just because dumb fucks like you want the result of that procedure
@RepublicanHQs@JamieBonkiewicz Your coma comparison doesn't hold up. A person in a coma or under anesthesia has already established a life, a mind, and a legal identity. They have a brain blueprint. A fetus especially in the first trimester hasn't developed the physical structures for consciousness
