The pregnant person’s right to body autonomy trumps the unborn child’s right to life.
This is because we have decided that body autonomy trumps the right to life in every other situation where we are forced to balance these two rights.
Because conjoined twins do not have one person using the body of another. Instead, they share certain body parts. The two situations are not comparable.
There is a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in...

So you believe in the case of Siamese twins where twin #1 is dependent on twin #2's organs to live that it's ok for twin #2 to sever his body via medical procedure from the other twin thus killing twin #1?
Why do doctors virtually never agree to do this in these cases because they don't want to kill the dependent twin, but yet perform abortions?
