Not her problem.

Its not her problem that a human being died by her fault, simply because she did not want the baby?

Either present a real argument or admit you lose the debate.

The thing is the fetus had no choice in being put there, and you are ultimately to blame.

I'm sure lots of parasitic creatures have little to no choice in their placement, and that the fault often lies with the host who was fool enough to put themselves in a position where they might acquire it.

It doesn't matter, though, does it?

Except that "Parasite" Is on the same level as a newborn baby, at least once brain signals can be detected.

But the fetus hasn't turned into a sapient human being yet. A human being? Sure. A sapient one? No. Not at all.

Sorry, you don't get to do that without explaining. Try Again.

Using your analogy, abortion is like if the other friend decided to eat all of your food, forcing you to buy more, ripped all of your clothes, covered the exterior of your house in shit (No offence intended to pregnant women - I'm referring to body image issues, not saying they're ugly monsters) and declared that after nine months of living like that, he was going to either stay for several more years, continuing to leach off of you, or leave and enter an overburdened system, leaving you feeling terrible, and rather than let him do that, you threw him out, your door being a magical portal when you throw him out during those nine months where he would surely die. Oh, and the other friend is incapable of thinking in any capacity.

Sure, sounds bad... until you get to the end, where you realize that no thinking thing is getting harmed.

I could take any one of your nucleic cells and turn it into a human being. That doesn't mean they all have a right to live.

Which is important, because fighting cancer would be very difficult if they did.

They don't need to consent.

If you want me to give you a kidney because yours is failing and I'm the only match, I have to consent to giving you one of mine (and also prove that you're not paying me for it). You don't have to consent to be left without a kidney and die (you have to consent to receive it because that's how this shit works).

Let me rephrase.

They cannot ask for consent. They cannot choose if they enter. They are brought into the situation by another without being witting of the situation or the grand scheme of things.

They are also unaware of the situation and have never been aware of anything at all.

Doesn't matter. You're not allowed to use someone else's body without their permission, no matter what effect being blocked from using their body has on you.

As I said to another just now... they cannot consent to being presented to the situation. They are utterly unable to ask for consent to be presented to the situation.

Alright, this is what I meant pages earlier when I did say Americans do not know how good they have it.

I say they should go and see the reality of an abortion-ban like the ones we have in LATAM, see if all of you like it that way. After all, that is "progressive" and "moral", right?

Not asking for consent doesn't make it okay to do something to someone against their will. If you don't want me to fuck you, and I fuck you anyway, it doesn't magically stop being rape just because I never "asked" for consent so you couldn't say no.
If they're not witting of the situation or the grand scheme of things, they lose nothing by being removed from the situation or the grand scheme of things.
