motherbychoice: mywackydreams: kaiamar: If a woman has a heartbeat you can’t tell her what to do with her goddamn body! Its not the woman’s body, omg. It is a separate living human organism with DNA completely different from the mother. In all of science it is a fact that the DNA for a single living organism cannot be different throughout that organism. One woman cannot have two completely different types of DNA flowing through her body. An unborn baby has its own fingers, hands, arms, head, legs, feet, brain, eyes, nose, mouth. Are all these just features of the mother? Does a mother suddenly have four arms? Four legs? 20 fingers? Two heads? It is rediculous to say yes. The unborn are separate from the mother. How about if you don’t want a baby, use a condom. Use birth control. Don’t have sex. Give the baby up for adoption. You have so many options. We are not telling you what to do wit your body, we are stopping you from allowing the death of an innocent human being. Stop spreading the lie that an unborn child is a part of the mother. If you call me out and say that’s not what you mean, then you are agreeing that the unborn are a separate living creature from the mother and thus is being killed through the abomination that is abortion. There is never a good reason to kill an innocent human being. I’m assuming you have never heard of chimerism. Because it is, indeed, possible for one human body to contain two sets of DNA. Just as it is possible for two humans to have identical DNA (or so similar as to require special testing methods to discern one from the other). Science, amirite? Anyway. No. An embryo and the pregnant person do not share identical DNA. Which means that, when a person gets pregnant, they now have another human inside of them. Using their body as an organic life support system. This usage poses a constant threat to the person whose body is being used. This embryo is physically attached to the pregnant person and cannot survive without that attachment. As such, despite having unique DNA and not being a literal part of the pregnant person’s body, it is most certainly not a separate entity. Exactly the opposite, in fact. It is an attached, dependent entity. Of course the embryo is one (sort of) body inside of another. But, as the pregnant person is the one who is pregnant and their body is being used (possibly against their will), it most certainly is their body and their right to their body in question. A pregnant person’s body does not cease to be their own just because a fertilized egg implants in their uterus. And a pregnant person doesn’t forfeit the right to decide who uses their body and for what purpose just because they are pregnant. Embryos are innocent in the same way flies are innocent. Or the same way a frog is innocent. That is not to say embryos are flies or frogs. Only that they lack the ability to be good or bad and therefore cannot accurately be described as innocent. Embryos are neutral (neither innocent or guilty). Pregnant people, however, ARE innocent as the descriptor applies to their pregnancy and the actions leading up to it anyway (the only exception being if they raped the person who impregnated them, but that’s neither here nor there, atm). As an innocent person, there is no reason for their rights to be violated (in fact, I would argue that - aside from imprisonment for public safety in the case of violent crime - even criminals should retain their rights, in particular and especially the right to bodily autonomy). Boom! Mic f’in drop! -- source link
