At least they have their priorities straight

No, it cannot.

That's really sad, Octavia. Do you really think it's right to care more about a dog then an unborn life. A life that is counting on it's mom to survive. As dog counts on it's owner to survive. Let's just assume the life of the mother and babies lives are not in danger or it wasn't a rape. You think it's okay to just end the unborn life out of convenience? The same reason a pet owner may want to get rid of their animal?

A pet dog isn't physically dependent on the body of someone else to remain alive."

Yes, it is.
It is entirely dependent on humans to provide it food, just like human children, or other human adults for that matter.

Even strays or (semi) feral populations of dogs are totally dependent on humans for food, whether directly given or garbage pickings. This is why you don't see them establishing independent populations in the wild.

Our children aren't considered adults till the age of 18 for the same reasons as well, unable to survive on their own. Heck, the latest generation are still dependent on them a decade after.

"Before a certain stage of development, yes" If you were the main character of the movie Despicable Me, the title would be a hundred times more accurate.

Not to mention that said book says our offspring are our property as well till the age of 18 years, hence women today being granted the legal right to kill them as long as we don't get to listen to their babX, erm, fetuses (phew, almost screwed up on the semantics there!) cry yet?

Double standards make for wonderfully applied failures in logic!

"I guess I'm despicable for thinking that a woman has a right to control her own body" The organism in the womb is NOT part of the woman's body, making this a strawman, as is the rest of the comment.

"You're misrepresenting what I said. I never said the embryo is part of her body." False on both counts.

Sad

Special, or just basic human rights that are, well, human rights?

There is no right to homicide.

It's sad that you think a woman has bodily autonomy but that the autonomous body within her has no bodily autonomy of its own.

Oh, the irony.

Yes, at the expense of an unborn child for convenience.

Welcome back. Haven't seen you on here in a while.

No one wants to use her body. It just shouldn't be so easy to end a life. But...what is your stance on covid vaccines? Should it be mandatory to get a covid vaccine? And should a person be made to show proof of vaccination or else be limited in their decisions or daily life?

Well, what if the mum doesn't want a child? It's honestly just extra time, money, and energy. Abortion is actually a hard decision.

You late to this party. 2 years.
Anyways...you just described a situation that an a person doesn't want to be responsible for. That is life. It can definitely suck sometimes. But because it takes energy and money and time...so? People have forgotten about making responsible decisions. You have options before you're prego.

Wait... What?
:P
