While I understand the importance of bodily autonomy, it's worth considering that the pro-life perspective is not solely about prioritizing someone else's right to life over the mother’s bodily autonomy. Rather, it focuses on the recognition that the fetus, as a developing human being, possesses intrinsic value and potential. Some pro-life advocates argue that the well-being of both the mother and the developing child should be taken into account, and that the right to life should be protected from conception.
For example, let's think about the case of conjoined twins who share vital organs. Separating them might result in one twin's death, but keeping them together could limit both of their lives. In such a case, deciding what to do involves weighing the rights and well-being of both individuals, which may not always align with a straightforward bodily autonomy argument.
I invite you to consider this example and provide a counter argument or solution that takes into account the complex nature of rights and responsibilities in such situations.
