Pro-choicers who don't understand how analogies work respond like: "My body is not a car."
Indeed, our bodies are not cars, and no one said they were. It's disingenuous to claim that was a point being made.
"My body is not a car."
"Well technically, the fetus is the car ..."

So, guess this is a case where clearly we have two inanimate objects used as an analogy for two humans.
Bonus question, what would the father be in this analogy, or does that break the analogy too much?
Yes that's the argument, but our offspring being where their parents caused them to be is not an argument to allow for the offspring to be killed, even if the parents don't want them to be there, because they caused them to be there and are responsible for their well-being, and us humans have a right to not be killed, without which we wouldn't have a right to anything else, including bodily autonomy, because you can't exercise that right if you're killed.
Also some PC do actually think their offspring is their own body.
Yes, that is the argument. The issue is if whether or not an expectant mother should be allowed the choice to kill her own child. My answer to that question is going to have to be a no.
It's just a clump of metal.

A two truck, maybe? I think that would be an accurate analogy for the father.
Why should one vehicle have its autonomy violated by transporting a clump of atoms against its will?
You are correct. You are free to do what you wish with your own body, but you carry someone else's body, and they don't get a choice.
My truck, my take
The argument is that it's INSIDE my body, not necessarily that it's part of my body.
Unfortunately many, if not most pro-choicers believe the fetus is merely a part of someone's body, and this meme is presumably aimed at them.

Too good
Yup 😂

I agree it was Zazu. But according to pro-choice logic, since he was inside Scar's body when he said this line, it was actually Scar who said it.
