    Ok, let’s use your silly argument. In the US, if someone isn’t capable of making decisions/speaking for themselves, someone is appointed power of attorney, and they make the decision for them. That’s their voice.

    In the case of me, a potentially pregnant woman (not really I fixed that) having an unwanted pregnancy, the embryo, can’t say anything so the person, me, “carrying” the pregnancy is defacto power of attorney/voice for said embryo. So, no, they don’t have a say, but I do.

      What is it you think I’m arguing here? It’s not that pregnant people should not be allowed the choice to have an abortion.

      I also am pretty sure we’re having the same discussion in multiple threads. If you are comfortable with it, feel free to collapse them all into one.
