I disagree with your life support analogy because that leaves off the "donor" aspect which is key to my point. Do we force donors of body parts or no. If no then we are violating the rights of the mother by forcing her to donate. Otoh we have the fetus, which you claim has rights to life support. OK lets just forget the obvious issues of whether a fetus is a life but in either case it is a stretch to say a womans body is life support in the same way that an IV tube or respirator supports life... in fact I think the medical terminology for life support is "artificial" life support and we already provide it to babies to the extent that it is beneficial (pre-mies, crack babies and the like). I don't believe it would hold up legally to use an analogy of a human body to a respirator, etc.
