The discussion was about abortion. And this guy thought he had a great point. He said the argument that a woman should have the right to control her own body does not apply with abortion because it's two bodies involved. It's not just her body but another body.
So I replied okay I will give you that for the sake of this argument. And my question to you sir is doesn't a woman have the right not to have another person's body inside of her?
And I told him that this is a main argument against rape and sexual assault.
So I waited for a reply... Waiting....... hello?...
oh look the guy just dropped off the chat list is no longer in the room. That's odd.
I actually think he had to step away from the computer and think about that one for a second.

The argument this made me think of, and I think this is sterling:
NO one can be forced to do something to save another person's life. I can't be forced to donate a kidney, or even blood. And if I'm not mistaken, I can't even be forced to help another person -- say by holding out a hand, or throwing a life jacket, or sharing MY boat.
So why should I be forced to provide my body for gestation if I don't want to?
