What Happens Next: A Gallimaufry

melancholic romantic comic cynic. bi & genderqueer. fantasy writer. sysrae on ao3.

Imagine you’re a young man walking home one night, minding your own business, when you’re randomly attacked and knocked out by a mad scientist. When you wake up, you’re strapped to a table in their Evil Lab, watching groggily as they surgically implant something - you can’t see what - into your thigh. Then you pass out again, and when you wake up, you’re back on the street. Dazed and frightened, you go straight to hospital to find out what was done to you, and discover, to your horror, that the thing in your thigh is an embryo - which, thanks to mad science, is growing there quite happily; for now, at least. Frantic, you ask the doctors to take it out. But they tell you no: the embryo’s potential to turn into a person is more important than the fact that you were attacked by a mad scientist who made you the subject of an illegal and highly immoral medical experiment, one whose outcomes constitute an ongoing bodily violation that could leave you with permanent physical damage, and which will hurt you more the longer it’s left untended. 

Now imagine the mad scientist isn’t a stranger in the bushes, but someone you’ve just met in a bar, or a friend, or a partner, or a family member - a person you thought was safe, who suddenly turns out to have been a mad scientist all along, just waiting for a chance to experiment on you. 

Now tell me again why abortion, even in the case of rape and incest, should be illegal.
