So, what makes it okay to remove a tapeworm without consent, but not a fetus?
Fetuses are different in one way though, they grow into something useful to society. I agree that fetuses are technically parasites, but that doesn't mean they are necessarily bad. Fetuses are only like tapeworms if they only stayed for 9 months, and would constantly give you love and presents well into your retirement years.
Except that not all babies grow up to give you love and presents, and the psychological trauma of carrying an unwanted fetus for nine months is probably not worth it.
