“I find it metaphorically resonant that a pregnant woman looks like she’s just sitting on a couch, but she’s actually exhausting herself constructing a human being. The laborious process of growing a human is analogous to how a woman’s work is seen. It’s hard to recognize, because a man’s work has such extravagant evidence – skyscrapers, for instance – while a woman’s work just makes the world quietly turn.”

Forced gestation *is* slavery. To prohibit abortion is to demand that a woman labour on behalf of another at great risk to health and life, without remuneration.
Don’t forget, but female slaves were bred like livestock.
But pro lifers dont see it that way, because pregnancy is “natural” and “what women are for”. One pro life ” feminist” even stated that uteruses were fetus homes and thus the *property* of fetuses.

A couple of links that you might find interesting. The first, since you add cat lovers:

The cartoon at the bottom is spot on.
