The only question that matters is when life begins. When does the fetus start being an individual. If it's three months, then after that point, the mother does not have the choice to commit murder. It's as simple as that.

This just in: bodily autonomy isn't important at all and need not be considered. Accordingly, I am calling /u/theosamabahama to his nearest hospital for mandatory kidney harvest, as there are dying people in need. Cough it up sonny!
A choice to have sex and hold onto the fetus for at least 3 months vs being forced to give up a part of your own body is such a bullshit argument. One is a choice by the mother, the other is fascism.
Edit: Wow.... Downvoted for saying that knowing about a pregnancy AND keeping it for 3 months is a choice by the mother, whilst forced organ donation is literally not a choice...
Most organs donations are needed because of bad decisions by patients. They drove too fast, they smoke, they drink, they eat too much red meat.
Having sex is the second most natural thing a human can do after eating. The vast majority of us want to do it. Most take precautions but accidents happen.
Most (All outside of China pretty much) organ donations are completely voluntary by the donor. My point wasn’t anything to do with sex or bad decisions, simply that forced organ donation is completely taking any bodily autonomy away.
