Doesn't forced abortion also count as rape by your definition?

Oh god, not this "pro-life" shit again.
...a woman should be able to do whatever she wants with her body, so if ie: she doesn't feel comfortable giving birth to a baby because she had an accident, she must be given the right to kick that fetus' uncreated butt.

It really doesn't matter if a fetus is a person or not. A woman is a person and if she wants it out, and it's reasonably safe to do so, it comes out. That's her right.

You're seriously telling me I don't have the right to kick somebody out of my house? Or that if I tell a guy I want to stop having sex and he keeps going, it isn't rape? Or that if I say "you can have some food" and you take more than was agreed, it isn't theft?

As for "ugh", if you don't have anything to say, don't try to act like you do. A foetus is a parasite because it lives inside another living thing and feeds off that thing's resources. Parasite.

No , rape is defined as sex which is not consented to.

Consent to sex is not now, nor has it ever been, consent to pregnancy.

But they knew the risks of driving in a car! Shouldn't they be forced to bear the consequences of that?

Wrong. Fetuses are most certainly parasites, by nature. And if the sex involved in making it was not consensual, or was purely for please but birth control failed, then it IS trespassing in a sense.

No , rape is defined as sex which is not consented to.

So if she consented to sex but doesn't want to do it up the bum, she can't revoke consent because she previously said yes?

No. That isn't how consent works.

Not necessarily. It's an unconsentual act of penetration. Or more specifically, it's a violent act of domination and control.

if you let them into your house and then they say "lol deal with it" and stay for 9 months and take over your fridge you basically need to deal with it
