Are you arguing that if one person consented to sex, but the other person no longer consents to the sex, then it doesn't matter? That the person who did consent has the right to continue using the other person's body for sex, even though they no longer consent..? Because that's rape; what this is describing is an instance of rape, and it's not okay. If you no longer consent to someone using your body, whether it's another adult or a baby, then they no longer are allowed to continue using you. No exceptions.
Secondly, you're right: the baby has no say in the matter. Hence why the wants/needs of the baby is completely irrelevant, because no matter what, it does not have the right to use your body without your continued consent. It doesn't matter who it is, or why they're there, or what for...they do not have the right to use you unless you allow it.
There is no way to pose any scenario in which any other person has the right to use your body without your consent.
You are free to never choose to get an abortion, just as you are free to think badly on those who do get them, but you cannot allow anyone to use other people without their consent. It is as simple as that...

I understand your point, but let me offer a different perspective. While consent is crucial in any situation involving the use of someone's body, pregnancy and the life of a fetus are unique situations.

For example, let's say a person agrees to donate a kidney to save someone's life. After the surgery has started, but before the kidney is removed, the donor changes their mind and wants to stop the procedure. At this point, the donor is no longer consenting, but stop… Read more

I would argue that the answer is simple: there is no justifiable scenario in which a person can use your body without your continued consent, regardless of circumstances. Whether it is sex, pregnancy, a medical procedure, or anything else, you have the right to revoke consent for further use, even if the other party's life is at risk.
If someone is using your body against your consent, then they are violating you and your bodily autonomy. As such, you have the right to defend yourself and stop them from continuing to violate you, including killing them, if need be. The right to life of… Read more
