You are stating that you can't tell the difference between bone marrow and baby.
Let me hold up 2 pictures: Can you identity which is an ultrasound of a baby and which is bone marrow?
[suspenseful silence]
Please quote where I quoted that verbatim. While you're at it look up my past statements that were made long before this tweet.
You seem to not understand. You are not forced to donate bone marrow to keep another person alive even if they would certainly die without it. The same way that a pregnant woman should not be forced to use her blood, organs, tissues etc to keep a fetus alive. Even if that fetus was to be considered a person that makes no difference since no person is required to use their own body, organs, blood, tissues, etc to keep another person alive.
It wouldn't matter if fetuses were considered persons. Other people can not demand to use your body to keep their own alive without your consent, and consent can be removed at any time. No one can force you to donate organs to keep another person from dying. No one can even force you to give blood to keep another person alive. Even corpses have bodily autonomy over if their organs are donated or not. One corpse can keep a dozen people from dying with organ donations and you have the right to deny the use of your body.
If a fetus is not a person then it has no right to use someone elses body either. Personhood doesn't equal the right to use other persons bodies as you so choose.
Surely it's not a stretch to suggest the circumstances between a pregnancy and an organ donor are extraordinarily different.
If that's what this argument is reduced to, God help us.
I knew nihilism was becoming more and more pervasive in our society, but it may be worse than I thought.

You can repeat it a billion times.
It doesn't make it a legitimate argument. For anything.

I can donate blood in an hour walk out and have no negative lasting effects for the donation. Compared to pregnancy and childbirth which can and do cause lasting medical issues even death.
The unborn child was created by a deliberate act by the woman (except in the case of rape).
Well, yeah, there's that too.
Except in the case of rape, whether or not it was carelessness or an accident, she and some dude made the decision to take that risk. They both need to take ownership of their actions at that point.
Everyone's beliefs should be valid, for themselves, not to impose on others.
That’s exactly what makes abortion complicated. The decision to terminate one’s pregnancy only allows one person’s belief or decision to stand and that decision has a very big impact on the life of the other human involved who has zero say in the matter.
If only it were as simple as just each person choosing what is best for them.
Why can't a fetus claim squatter's rights? Unless she was raped the mother let the little human in to her body.
I am pro-abortion but these attempts to try to paint it as a moral virtue are gross. At best it's a necessary evil.
I can evict a squatter from my property. I can shoot and kill someone who enters my house without my permission.
It has nothing to do with moral virtue, and everything to do with bodily autonomy.
