It doesn’t matter if it had rights; it’s rights wouldn’t override the pregnant person’s rights.

  Why?

    Same way the fact that someone needs an organ transplant doesn’t result in forcing anyone to donate said organ. Even if fetuses were people, it wouldn’t be a proper argument to force anyone to donate their uterus.

      We are not talking about a uterus! Or an organ from a person who is dead. We are talking about a mother and a foetus. The foetus is nascent life. Also, the foetus and the mother separate - and become different people - everyone was a foetus once. No one is disputing this! Or are you? A mother/woman plainly feels pain, and in this study, it states that babies do too. (I didn't need the study to tell me this, but whatever.) Its not a big step (for me) to imagine that foetuses feel pain too. Nor that they do not want to die - they would have a will to live. Do you dispute any of this? No one is saying the mother needs to 'donate her uterus' whatever that means. The mother keeps the uterus - there is no loss. The loss is entirely with the foetus' - it has no choice and losses its life in what must probably be a very painful way. None of that seems really debatable to me.

        Again, none of this matters - forcing someone into unwanted pregnancy is no different from forcing someone to be an organ donor.
