This video poses a very interesting question for those who believe that abortion is immoral because the fetus is a living creature.
At least start at 8:37
Unless we are talking about rape, I don't see how this is a valid analogy.
Also, bodily autonomy only seems to be brought up when speaking about abortion. Many of the same people that will bring up the bodily autonomy argument will balk at the idea of legalizing drugs and/or prostitution.
Do you try very hard to come up with such imbecilic drivel or it comes naturally to you?I'm surprised a liberal scientist hasn't figured out a way to run our cars on dead fetuses.Imagine a pregnant woman running out of gas.Honey don't call AAA.There's a coat hanger in the trunk.

I think he tries just as hard as you do not to continually be nasty to others and insult their intelligence, their education, and their reading comprehension. So no, not much.
I bet you also think that he succeeds.I think he tries just as hard
The crap he posts is insulting to anyone with a modicum of intellect and integrity. I am not so surprised that you do not find it offensive.So no, not much.
First of all I did not watch the video as I am pro choice.
But i read your reply:
You are confusing bodily autonomy with bodily integrity.
They are very similar but:
In one case, (autonomy) you have the right to not allow OTHERS to decide how to use your body.
In the other, ( integrity ) it's about having the right to do as YOU choose with your body.
That is a distinction without a difference. You are simply avoiding the fact that if you are truly arguing that a person has the right to bodily autonomy then prostitution and drugs should be legal.

If the shoe fits, buy a pair that does not hurt so much...That's just what I mean. I guess you can't help yourself.

...
I disagree.
There is a big distinction as any women who had ever been raped will tell you ...there is a big difference between forced rape and legal prostitution.
By the way , more often than not prostitution is also forced onto the woman.
And of course that should be completely illegal.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around why prostitution is illegal and yet porn is perfectly fine. Seems rather strange that one can have sex for money, but only if there is a camera present. Many of our laws make absolutely no sense and in many cases (Drug war, prostitution, etc) they do more harm to society and to those they presumably want to help.
Because legalized hard drugs and prostitution end up removing bodily autonomy.Many of the same people that will bring up the bodily autonomy argument will balk at the idea of legalizing drugs and/or prostitution.

Prostitution and drug abuse are commercial activities which harm society. Abortion is non-commercial and benefits societyThat is a distinction without a difference. You are simply avoiding the fact that if you are truly arguing that a person has the right to bodily autonomy then prostitution and drugs should be legal.
In porn, the performers are not being paid to provide sexual pleasure to the people who pay them. They are paid to produce entertainment for othersAnd of course that should be completely illegal.

They are still being paid to have sex. I'm not sure why one is considered to be acceptable and not the other.
