[id: a Facebook post. The initial post reads: “By the logic that says a fetus has the right to commandeer a non-consenting person's uterus ('A Child Will Die If You Don't Give Them Part Of Your Body'), any children's hospital that experiences a blood shortage should have the right to nab you off the street and take your blood by force“
First comment: “wOmEn JuSt ShOuLdN’t HaVe SeX iF tHeY dOn’T wAnT tO gEt PrEgNaNt” Well Jeremy, you shouldn’t have set foot outdoors within two miles of a hospital if you wanted to keep those extra 2-3 pints of blood! Make better choices!!
Second comment: “My blood’s not even viable for donation, I have tattoos/a blood disease!” Some fetuses aren’t viable for life! Some people don’t have the physical/financial/psychological capacity to survive a pregnancy, let alone parenthood! The fact that taking your blood will harm you and help no one is an acceptable sacrifice in the interest of preserving our right to harvest your bodily fluids whenever we feel like it. Think of the children!
Third comment: “You can just give the baby up for adoption!” And you don’t actually need all your blood now, do you Jeremy! Look, we’re giving you a single fig newton and a complimentary mini bottle of water! All better, you have nothing to complain about. I’m sure whatever you were planning to do with the time it took us to kidnap you, take you to our facility and drain your blood couldn’t have been that important. (Oh? You were about to give the most important presentation of your career? Your boss just texted you to tell you you’re fired? Not our problem! Your fault for setting foot on the street outside that Panera. Do you think you’re entitled to paninis without consequence? Get over it, Jeremy. A few hours is nothing compared to the nine months it takes to carry a baby to term.)
