I agree. Personal autonomy is one of the most important rights we have. The pro-life rhetoric is an…
The issue with the pro-life perspective is that it suggests someone else's right to life should come before your own right of bodily autonomy, which is not the case. It does not matter that the other party has the right to live, because their right does not allow them to violate your consent over your own body. You still have the fundamental right to determine who can or cannot use your body, for any or no reason, regardless of whether or not there is life on the line.
If this was not the case, then the state would be morally allowed to force people into having organ/blood donations any time someone else's life was at risk. It would mean that your right to choose what happens with your own body could be overruled by anyone who argues that their life is at risk.
This is a dangerously unjust precedent, and the argumentative result of an ignorant misunderstanding of the issue of bodily autonomy and why it exists.
