I never got an answer on whether the pro-life people think relatives should be forced to donate organs, bone marrow etc. to save a life... and if not, how is that different from the pro-life position if you accept the fetus as a person unique to the mother?

And that right there is the bedrock of pro-choice.

But it seems the pro-life argument gets shaky if you start making exceptions. The life is either sacred or its not sacred.

This illustrates the absurdity of denying moral relativism. We draw lines. We make distinctions and exceptions. That's what we do. That's why we're not animals. We don't just follow rules. We think.

Sometimes.
