What is your stance on abortion?
Are you arguing that if one person consented to sex, but the other person no longer consents to the…
While consent is crucial in any situation involving the use of someone's body, pregnancy and the life of a fetus are unique situations. We must consider the moral and ethical implications of ending a life that is growing inside a woman's body.
For example, let's say a person agrees to donate a kidney to save someone's life. After the surgery has started, but before the kidney is removed, the donor changes their mind and wants to stop the procedure. At this point, the donor is no longer consenting, but stopping the surgery could potentially lead to harm or even death for the recipient. In this case, should the donor's consent still be the only deciding factor, or should we consider the consequences for the recipient?
The same concept applies to abortion and the life of a fetus. While a woman's bodily autonomy is important, we also need to consider the life of the fetus and whether ending that life is morally and ethically justifiable.
I invite you to think about this scenario and come up with a counterargument or solution that takes into account both the mother's rights and the rights of the unborn child. How can we balance these two important factors in the debate on abortion?

If someone is using your body against your consent, then they are violating you and your bodily autonomy. As such, you have the right to defend yourself and stop them from continuing to violate you, including killing them, if need be. The right to life of… Read more
