When abortion becomes illegal, I’m going to devote my life to making organ donations and blood donations mandatory. Some person needs a new heart? Your heart is a perfect match, so you have to give them yours. You don’t have the right to say no. Your body isn’t yours after all, and that is for the greater good of humanity! If pregnant women don’t have ownership of their own bodies, then nobody should have ownership of their own bodies.

This argument is completely invalid and always has been. Pregnancy is unlike any other human experience. You cannot compare organ donation to pregnancy. There is zero logical connection.
Given your vignette above, if you forced me to give my heart to someone else, I would die. Mothers don’t die while gestating their children. Their bodies evolved to create new human life. They share their organs with their children, they don’t give their organs to them. And when their children are born, they leave all of their mother’s organs right where they found them, untouched and fully functional. In fact, the child takes everything with them, leaving their mother’s uterus clean and ready for her next child’s use.
Cutting organs out of people to give them to other people is unnatural and ends with the loss of an organ. Pregnancy is natural and ends with the retention of every organ that was there before the pregnancy.
Please stop using this ridiculous ‘argument’ to justify the slaughter of prenatal children. Embrace the reality of what you fight so hard for. Accept it for what it is: the intentional killing of little boys and girls.
