Quote:The dialysis analogy aims to illustrate all that. In the analogy the sick person depends on being plugged into you for their survival. They will die if you wish to be unplugged. The question is whether you are legally, or perhaps even morally, obligated to remain connected to them against your wishes.The obvious answer is you have no such obligation.
The analogy takes every aspect of a pregnancy into account, and even treats the fetus like a full grown adult so there's no ambiguity.
Quote:I guarantee you'll win over more pro-life supporters with this analogy than by attempting to dehumanize a human fetus, etc.No, you won't because Pro-Choice people have used the analogy for years I have yet to see it sway a single Anti-Choice fanatic. Nor do I honestly care if they think I'm dehumanizing the fetus. Their feelings are of no interest to me...

“No matter what men think, abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?”
