If the donating blood illustration was not intended to be a comparison to abortion it's pretty ridiculous that you used it as an argument for abortion.
I didn't.

It was not, as I stated, a comparison to abortion, it was merely a tangential argument regarding the autonomy of individual rights. I was not directly talking about abortion during that specific argument, I was talking about rights...which I had explicitly clarified last time.
it is scientifically proven that from the moment of conception the baby and the mother are two separate bodies.
According to who and with what criteria? At the moment of conception, the baby is not even a "body" at all in the first place, so I highly doubt that any evidence supports the choice of wording you used of "separate bodies". If you had said that they were both "living things" or "separate organisms", then obviously that would be correct, since both you and the growing fetus are clearly two separate organisms made up of living cells, but "separate bodies at conception" sounds like an odd misunderstanding of human development.
More importantly, the fact that the mother and the fetus are two separate organisms actually SUPPORTS my argument that abortion is justified. In fact, nowhere in my argument did I suggest that the mother and the baby are the same person, because I do not believe that is true, nor would this specific argument of mine make sense if they were. The reason abortion is justified is because no one has the right to use another person's body without their constant consent to do so, and therefore BECAUSE the mother and the baby are two separate people subsequently means that the baby does NOT have the right to use its mother's body without her consent. Using someone else's body without their… Read more
