Best argument for keeping roe v wade, ever. Non-religious. [View all]

I'll mis-quote Tracy Harris from Atheist Experience:

If parents are not legally required to donate body parts to post-birth children, even to save their lives, then there sure isn't any reason why women should be forced to risk their lives carrying an unwanted fertilized egg to term, either.

And the famous "fetus doesn't have a say and never chose to be created" argument also runs aground, because the mother didn't, either.

So simple, but I've never heard it before.
