Sir, a car accident or any other example will still be irrelevant to this subject. It's not a pregnancy, it's not a fetus in a womb, it's not in any way related to this discussion.

You can't force someone to do x,y,z with their own body, no matter what creature they hold within their womb. PERIOD. That's it.

And if men could get pregnant we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

Sure it's a different situation. However there aren't going to be many equivalents by which you can discuss this. I can just as easily say the fetus is a human life and terminating it is murder end of discussion. But we hardly get anywhere with that attitude do we. And more importantly it is a boring and trite line of discussion at this point.

If men could get pregnant we would be having this conversation. That is one of the stupidest arguments I've ever heard. Removing male voices form the conversation entirely still leaves you with about a 50 50 split opinion wise on the matter.
