Another fun perspective -- you have to consent beforehand (usually on your license) to donate organs in the event you become brain dead. No one, not the state, not a hospital, not a child, can take/use part of your body -- even though it's dead -- without consent.
If someone is brain dead and will never recover, you still cannot take any organ from their body without that consent, even if it has the ability to save the life of a dying child. One has to agree to allowing someone to harvest and use their body for anything, even in death.
Yet in states like Alabama, Ohio and Georgia, male law makers are giving away access to women's bodies left and right without their consent, so a fetus can survive. We won't use the body parts of dead people without their consent to save a child, but will force women--
to hand over their body, womb, blood, uterus, nutrients, and vagina, while they are alive and well, in order to keep an unwanted fetus alive.
Cadavers have more legal rights to autonomy over their bodies than women do.
Dead people have more rights than living women.
FFS.
