Daledien doesn’t give a shit about babies. He wants to control women.

Exactly. I still think this old slogan captures the public policy abortion ‘debate’ in the US perfectly:

“If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament”.

Bodily autonomy is remarkably close to 100% in this culture. Blood donations are voluntary. Organ and tissue donations from the living or the dead must be specifically authorized by the donor. It is unthinkable to make any of these compulsory, and arguments to the effect that such compulsion would save lives aren’t going to be take seriously by anyone.

The only real exception to 100% bodily autonomy is the forced pregnancy crusade of the anti-choicers. So in a real sense they are arguing for giving greater rights to a corpse than to a pregnant woman.
