>After all, we’ve conceded that people can be compelled to use their bodies in ways they don’t desire to.

We crossed that bridge a long time ago. It is criminal for a parent to starve their children, or abandon them in a hostile environment.

That's not even remotely similar and you know it.

I think they are indeed similar and a framework would be needed to separate them. I'm open to the idea that they are similar but have meaningful differences.

A significant portion of the US doesn't think there is a meaningful distinction.

They are not similar. Primarily because having to take care of a kid doesn't mean you are forced to carry them inside you. Also at least in the US you can drop your baby off at any hospital no questions asked. So not similar at all. You're uneducated or trolling.

If you need me to explain now these are different things you're the problem.

No need for the hostility. At a minimum they are similar in that they are all compulsions to take action and limitations on personal autonomy. I never said they were the same.

You can drop a baby at a hospital, but you can't drop them in the trash.

Your words and actions are hostile to many women in the US. Don't tell me I can't be hostile to you over the internet. Grow up.

If this is how you talk to your allies, I cant imagine how you treat you opposition.

If you find the word "similar" so hostile you can't have an conversation that contains it, there is no room for intelligent discourse.

That’s very different. Being compelled to take some action is very different than being compelled to remove a part of your body or to put something into it, or to give a part of your body to someone else.
