God Makes Spare Parts

I am an adoptive parent of two now-grown children.

I used to sit on the board of an adoption agency.

Long story short, it came to pass that I helped two Thai conjoined twins come to the US. 

Yes, REAL Siamese Twins. 

They were separated at CHOP, the Children’s Hospial of Philadelphia, (yes, I know), and adopted by a doctor and nurse.

Just a day or two after separation, the surgeon came to Virginia to attend a fundraiser for post-operative care.  I was the auctioneer, and I got to button-hole him to ask a medical question about the kids. 

His reply was that he used the appendix to solve the problem in question (they were short a bladder) and then he leaned in close and whispered in my ear: “God makes spare parts.”

I tell this story because you are the owner of spare parts.

If you think taking someone else’s body autonomy away from them is fine “to save the life of a child,” then I want you to sign up TODAY for surgery.

You see, people are literally DYING for your spare parts. 

Very sick living and breathing people need your extra kidney, your extra lung, your extra liver.

To be clear, I want every forced-birther to VOLUNTARILY donate body parts today, but I also want forced-birthers to support MANDATORY forced organ donation from the living.

Because why should only pregnant women lose body autonomy?

What? 

That’s outrageous?

Really? 

I can’t force you to give a kidney, or a liver, or a lung?

Why not?

Why is YOUR body autonomy so special, and why are the real lives to be saved from taking your spare parts now of so little consequence?

How about blood and blood plasma? 

Can we force people to donate these in order to save a life? 

If they refuse to have a needle put in their arm and a bag of life-giving whole blood siphoned off every month, can we JAIL them and fine them for failing to protect human life?

Why not?  Let's get this legislation rolling TODAY.  

Let's see Amy Coney Barrett, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch not only endorse this legislation, but volunteer to donate their organs TODAY.

And let’s see all those who would ban abortion already standing in that line.
