I’m not playing devil’s advocate
Yes, you are. If you don’t believe you are, you need to look up the definition of the term:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil's_advocate
In common language, the phrase ‘playing devil’s advocate’ describes a situation where someone, given a certain point of view, takes a position they do not necessarily agree with (or simply an alternative position from the accepted norm), for the sake of debate or to explore the thought further using valid reasoning that both disagrees with the subject at hand and proves their own point valid.
I’m pointing out that this is not an objective truth
Then you’re a little hazy on the topic of government-mandated organ donation slavery. Okay.
This topic has a lot of parallels to the debate on capital punishment
I’m not going to debate for or against capital punishment, but the two situations are not comparable unless you believe that pregnancy is a capital crime deserving of the punishment of forced organ donation slavery.
Does this apply to vaccines?
Unfortunately, yes. While it would have been nice and would have saved many more lives if everyone had been forced to get vaccinated, the government cannot force that on anyone. They can require that government workers and military either get vaccinated or lose their jobs / be discharged from service, however.
Now, is there anything else you’d like to throw out as devil’s advocate?
Well, you mostly missed the point but you grazed it.

And should the government be able to do the same if a pregnant person gets an abortion? (Remember, my point is that “my body, my choice” is not a good argument). And to that point:
Yes, you are
I have not once defended anti-choice. I am pointing out that the arguments many people use to defend abortion-choice aren’t well thought out. Like “it’s just a clump of cells” or “my body, my choice”. Well, I’m trying to do that. YMMV on how successful I’ve been, haha.
You’re right, I made the mistake of engaging your falsehoods instead of immediately dismissing them out of hand. No, now that I come to think of it, vaccinations and forced birth are not the same because vaccinations do not require you to remove blood and tissue from yourself and give them to another person. So, apologies that I gave your devil’s advocate argument an ounce of credence.

Yes, by using pro-life baseless arguments and assertions in a devil’s advocate fashion to point out why you believe we shouldn’t immediately dismiss them as the irrational drivel they are.
A hypothetical is not a falsehood. Seriously.
What pro-life baseless arguments are you referring to?
