Women in the U.S. now have fewer rights to their bodies than do corpses. So, unfortunately no, we aren’t worth the same as another human life or even a human death for that matter.

In this specific case, I agree, it’s a hard moral question with the twin involved which makes it harder.

I’m not speaking on this specific case, and most pro-lifers are open to exceptions, this being a prime example of where I think there should be. but the more broad statement that simply because I’m pro-life, means that I want to enslave woman, is absurdly wrong and simply perverting and strawmanning a fairly reasonable argument that a human life in the womb has inherent human life value.

Nothing hard about it, to have individual rights one must first be an individual. If you don’t understand the word individual pick up a dictionary.

Exactly. And some people truly believe it’s an individual.

See you’re almost there, you just lack the ability to empathize that one may think differently than you.
