However, the right to life does not mean having the right to use the body of another human being. People are not required by law to risk their lives to save the lives of others. For example, if there is a person drowning in the ocean, I don't have to risk my life to save the drowning person. Therefore, even if the fetus has rights, women are not obligated to save it. It concluded that many “anti-abortion activists believe that abortion is justified when a woman becomes pregnant as a result of rape or incest.” This violates their definition of the right to life because it clearly indicates that pro-life advocates believe that a fetus's right to life is negotiable. Therefore, pro-life activists contradict themselves when they compromise their definition of the right to life because this means that pro-life advocates recognize that women's rights are more important than the life of fetuses. Ultimately, the right to life requires that an individual be capable of living independently. Before you have the right to life, you must have a life. The fact that the fetus is not a separate individual and lives and depends on the pregnant woman for growth falls within the biological definition of a parasite. A parasite in the human body feeds on the host and causes problems and disease in the host. My intention is not to denigrate the fetus with a negative connotation regarding the parasite. In fact, parasites and host may have a supportive relationship just as in most pregnancies. I used the comparison to reconstruct the relationship between a fetus and a parasite to state that if the woman continues the pregnancy against her will, her rights and bodily integrity are lost.
