If you unironically have to refer to children as parasites and compare them to tapeworms to justify abortion, you have no business making public policy regarding children, and you might be a psychotic monster. Aren't you glad your parents didn't consider you a tapeworm?Randomizer wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 12:48 amIt's a parasite living off the host. Would you defend a tapeworm's right to exist?
Would you let the government decide it could harvest your organs to save other people's lives? How much would you let the government decide to do with your body without your consent. After all it would be against the US constitution for the government to take your property (body) without monetary compensation by forcing you to keep a fetus inside you.
None of these analogies even come close to hitting the mark. We already have precedent for the government deciding what you can do "with your body without your consent." What do you think a law is? We even have ample law on point: you can't voluntarily use your body to kill people. And if dependence on a parent is the line of demarcation for you, why don't you support infanticide after birth? Let me ask you where your line is--how long are you allowed to slaughter your own child because they're depending on you and you don't want that anymore? Because that's your position you're advocating right now.
