abortion, responsibility, and analogies

My analogies were in my second paragraph, such as the tadpoles and the choice between killing a fetus or a child. I apologize if they weren't clear enough.For the burglar analogy, you seem to be saying that a mother shouldn't be forced to have the responsibility of keeping the baby after birth, since she was just being nice to the "burglar". I agree with you, and if a mother doesn't want to keep the child, she has the right to put it up for adoption. However, she should also have the right to get rid of it prematurely by killing the burglar. If there was someone in your home that you didn't want, yes I suppose you could be nice to them and let them stay for a while, but it wouldn't be unreasonable for you to tell them to leave right away."The purpose of intercourse is pregnancy"That may be its biological purpose. But most people who have sex don't do it to get pregnant, but because it feels good. "The mother took too many proactive steps to facilitate a pregnancy"Just because they had sex they're facilitating a pregnancy? Pregnancy is a risk associated with sex, but I stress the fact that people who have sex don't necessarily want to become pregnant. By the same argument, by going out at night you are facilitating getting raped. By going into water you are facilitating drowning. We shouldn't be forced to resort to abstinence as the only form of birth control, because apparently any other method is facilitating a pregnancy. "Failed contraceptives doesn't mean it isn't the parent's fault."I personally disagree with this. If they tried to avoid becoming pregnant but the contraceptives failed, how is it their fault? Yes, they were the ones who made the child, but that was purely an accident that they didn't want. To say it's their fault that they got pregnant even though they used contraceptives is like saying it's your fault for drowning because there was a leak in the boat. The person who went on the boat assumed it would prevent them from sinking, just like the person who puts on a condom assumes it will prevent them from getting pregnant. However, when the condom fails, it's suddenly the person's fault?I'd like to bring in a related analogy to these arguments. Imagine if there were people-seeds in the air. By opening your windows, you risk one flying in and growing in your carpets. To avoid having children, you cover your windows mesh screens to prevent them from entering your home. However, it is possible that one of these screens might be defective. So is it her fault that she has a people-seed growing in her home because she risked it by opening her windows? Just because she allowed this possible risk, she shouldn't be able to get rid of this intruder in her home? I'll address the island and kidney analogy as one since they are both pretty similar. First of all, both of them rely on the pretense that they caused the accident. But like I said above, the parents should not be blamed for causing the pregnancy when they took actions to prevent one. And even if they had unsafe sex, just because a person is irresponsible about their body does not mean that they should lose all responsibilities to their body by forcing them to keep a baby. At the end of the day, it's still their body, no matter what. Everybody has a right to bodily autonomy, meaning that no one can force you to do or give anything that is your own body. Yes, if you detatched them from your kidneys you would end up killing them, but the right of bodily autonomy is greater than the right to life when it infriges on your bodily autonomy. And you could say that anyone who refuses to donate an organ is indirectly killing someone who dies because they did not get that organ transplant. Does that make all of us all murderers? Absolutely not. The government should not be able to interfere with people's lives so much that they are forcing them to give up organs to someone else to keep them alive. As for the moral obligation, we must keep in mind that morality is subjective. If you believe that you should keep the person alive by allowing them to use your kidneys, then you can do so. But you can not tell someone to give up their kidneys to someone else when they don't want to. If you don't believe abortion is right, then don't get an abortion. However, people who don't share the same view as you shouldn't have to give up their right to one because of your view.
