Let’s play out this example - your 2 year old niece is sick, and so are you.

My actions didn’t bring her into this world. That’s a huge difference.

But in your current state, the transplant is very risky

I agree there should always be exceptions for cases like these.

I don’t agree with your belief that a potential life is the same as a life, but let’s set that aside - I can respect that as a belief

You see it as a potential life, I see it as a whole life. I thank you for understanding that it’s reasonable one might have this believe.

Should you be able to force someone to risk their own for someone else?

See my response above.

There’s always at least some risk of pregnancy turning fatal for the mother. How much danger do you have to be in for the math to check out?

In law there’s a lot of ‘reasonable’ language - would a reasonable person think this is a likely event. In general, pregnancies aren’t life risking to mothers.

And also, to what point should politicians with little understanding of medicine be able to deny you care?

If I brought in my twin brother to a doctors office and said ‘hey, this guy is really making me sick, can you kill him for me?’ I think a reasonable law maker can determine whether that’s right or wrong. To some people, there’s no difference between the life of you and I, and a fetus.
