Right to bodily autonomy

I see this argument made in every abortion debate thread I’ve ever seen. “No being has the right to use another’s body to sustain their life.” First of all this is clearly a circumstance that is unique only to pregnancy, and well people try to compare it to donating an organ or giving blood, that is like comparing apples to oranges. Yes there are both fruits but, one is giving apart of yourself, well the other is akin to having some hooked up to like life support, which is not only unrealistic, but impossible and just doesn’t happen.

When we look at human rights we see that a right to life is not only the most important, but the foundation of all other human rights. Without the right to life we cannot have another human rights. Which means there is a higher achy of rights. Ones that trump others. And the right to life will always trump any other right.

Take the right to travel for example. That right ends when you are putting someone else’s right to life at risk, such as speeding, drunk driving ect. Which is why laws are made to protect people’s right to life.

So NO a woman’s right to bodily autonomy does not trump HER OWN UNBORN CHILDS right to life.
