Imagine you woke up in a hospital bed and one of your kidneys was hooked up to a world class violinist with a kidney problem in the bed next to you.

If you disconnect the link, the violinist would die instantly. Do you have the right to do that? It’s all about the rights you have over your body and the responsibility you have for the life of another person.

From an article by Prof. Judith Jarvis Thomson on abortion in 1971.
