A question for pro-lifers.

Hello Pro-lifers!

Do you believe abortion is murder? You do? Okay, then I have a question for you!

I want you to imagine that you have an issue with your kidney. And you need a transplant to live. And the only match in the entire world is my kidney. I will (most likely) live if I undergo the procedure to give you my kidney and you will (most likely) live if I undergo the procedure to give you my kidney. If I don’t give you my kidney, you will die.

I decide not to give you my kidney. DID I MURDER YOU? 

 

——-

You are undoubtedly a human being. You need my body to live. But LEGALLY I have a choice whether to give you a part of my body or not. You can’t make me. The government can’t make me. No one can make me. Or prosecute me. Or prosecute the doctor for failing to make sure you live.

——

And if you said yes, I did in fact murder you in this hypothetical, then what you’re saying is if someone in the world needs your body part right now to survive, and it won’t kill you to give them that body part, then not giving it is murder. So you’re a murderer.

 

have a good day. 👋
