By way of illustration:

No person can be legally required to donate blood or part of their body. Even in the most ludicrous example you could think of: a drunk driver mortally injures someone and could save their life by donating blood. Even though the situation is their fault, isn't legally compelled to give blood. Those are extreme examples, and hundreds more that are far less intense exist. In none of them is a person required to surrender their bodily autonomy.

A fetus has no right to require the use of a woman's body for nine months of she doesn't want to. Even if she fucks 80 men a day without protection, who gets to use her uterus to gestate in is exclusively her decision.

LOL So you would allow third trimester abortions on the grounds that "the fetus has no right to the womans body." Hello Ayn Rand!

Are you bored? You must be really bored.

Your argument applies to every trimester of pregnancy.

Yes. And?

You forget that, at least in the US, organ donation is opt-in.  Therefore even dead people would have more bodily autonomy that a pregnant woman if the anti-abortion people had their way.

A person should show that they are an organ donor before you agree to listen to their pro-life spiel.

Trust me, I would never forget that corpses have more sanctity than women in the minds of anti-choice people. I'm just amazed that the realization didn't occur to me earlier in life.

Any protest that doesn't piss off a lot of people and seem totally unreasonable to outsiders is probably a shitty protest.

My day-early super-fancy preorder of Dishonored 2 got delayed to Tuesday because Amazon is farts. But I got to play the Clockwork Mansion level a few times over a month early at one of their promotional events, so my saltiness is slightly alleviated. Speaking of, did Bethesda just spill a giant bag of marketing money on this game and be like, "go nuts, guys"? They've done all kinds of promotional events and stuff this past year.

I am saying that the stick is going to be a necessary component of how we get laws that both reverse voter suppression and end gerrymandering. Things are going to get worse and scarier before they get better.

I think you are very correct in this. The "peace is the only way, riots don't solve anything!" pap is sounding less and less true to me every day.

A lot of people are going to get hurt, it seems. But if "lesser of two evils" really is the only path to progress in this society, then a greater evil must be presented as the alternative to the lesser "evil" of treating Those People as humans.

(In case the FBI is listening, this hurts my White Male Feelings and I'm against it, for the record. Also, well played, pigs.)

I don't really have the proper platform to say it, but on FB I posted that if someone voted for Trump and don't consider themselves bigots, or voted or him despite their misgivings about his bigotry, here are the links to the ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, AIDS Action Committee, and Planned Parenthood, and to please donate to support the people who are now at risk because of your vote.

It's a troll, but it's a CHARITY troll.

I like this.

For the record, arguing from the position of "You're chasing away allies," "You're being really rude and hard to engage with," etc is called switchtracking and it's a cheap conversational ploy to shift the argument away from a challenging subject. It's literally the same shit as "tone policing" on tumblr.

If the discussion is ABOUT marketing and strategies to spread the word, then maybe arguing over how to be diplomatic would be relevant. Otherwise, toughen the fuck up: this is PD.com

Counterpoint. How about a conjoined twin who attempts suicide by overdose. Irrespective of your views on suicide should this be allowed?

That's a pretty interesting question with a lot of pieces to pick apart. If I wasn't really fucking tired from working all week I might be able to engage it properly.

This isn't a proper argument. You're just automatically naysaying anything the other side says.

No, I'm naysaying what YOU are saying, because everything you are saying on this subject is wrong.

By sheer coincedence, you are also wrong about basically everything I've ever seen you post. If you said something correct I would be able to stop naysaying you. Like your point about this not being a proper argument: that much is true.

I don't know how someone can fail to grasp the principle of bodily autonomy so completely. Must require a pretty thick layer of misogyny smeared over one's reality filter.

Well, to apply the concept of bodily autonomy to women, you first have to think of them as real people.

Right, right. I mean, they don't even have penises, so how could they be people? It just doesn't make any damn sense.
