Hell, even a dead body is not forced to give up a kidney if its previous inhabitant did not sign an organ donor consent form.
In America, women have less right to their body than a corpse.
- maratc 4y ago> women have less right to their body than a corpse. I don't think it's a fair argument: someone who needs a kidney may receive it from this dead body or from another one, but a fetus cannot be magically transplanted into a different womb. Choice vs. no choice.
- moistly 4y agoFetuses are utterly incapable of making choices, so your point is not only moot, but absurd. It also completely misses the important bit: American women have less autonomy over their body than the dead. Justify that, pal.

It is certainly possible to convince of a hypothetical society where the bodies of the dead are the property of someone, be they: family, inheritors by testament, society at large, the government, etc. Why is it that a dead body is effectively it's own owner, at least when it comes to organ donation?
