I wish i could find this one article written in I believe the 90’s that went under the radar on abortion. The author said that the “life” arguments are basically useless on either side and what actually matters is that humans shouldn’t have a right to use other human bodies as a resource without consent no matter how alive or sentient they are, even if they’re on the brink of death you have the right to deny them access to you. It probably was too radical for pro-choice activists back in those days but like…that’s the most robust arguement lol so we need 2 being that back and dead the pontifications and splitting hairs about “life” in my honest onion
I found it. Actually, it was written in the 70’s. She was way ahead of the curve.
The article is ‘A Defense of Abortion’ by Judith Jarvis Thomson. Essential reading!

If you cannot demand that a person donate their organs to keep you alive, you have no right to legislate that an embryo gets to use a woman’s body to keep itself alive without the woman’s consent.
This is my personal stance on it. It makes the whole thing simpler. I don’t have to stand on my head pretending a fetus isn’t a living human being, because it doesn’t matter if it is or not: the pregnant person has the final say in whether or not their body can be used in that way.
You cannot even take the organs of a dead person if they a) didn’t explicitly allow it or b) explicitly stated that they do not allow it when they were still alive (depending on where you live).
We accept that dead people have the right to prioritize their physical integrity over saving another human being’s life. Even though they are dead. DEAD.
We grant now-dead people more rights to decide over what happens with their bodies than alive women/people with an uterus. Just let that sink in.
