Vital means required to keep functioning in current state. A womb is vital to an embryo until it matures. At no point during a woman’s life is the uterus necessary to the maintenance of the woman’s life. This does not negate the importance of the womb…. It simply defines ability to harm
So you're shifting goalposts here.
You claimed "livelihood", which I quoted and disagreed with. You even go so far as to say that having a decreased life expectancy from missing a lung supports your point. Well, I don't have the data handy but I'd be willing to bet that there's a correlation between motherhood and life expectancy. I'd also say that there's a world of difference between having kids that you establish a lifetime relationship with vs having random people take care of your deteriorating ass because they get paid.
But now you're changing the claim that it's not vital for her to stay alive. Ok, well fine. That's a different argument. Pick one.
I don't even understand what your point of this post is beyond, "oh hey, here's a piece of trivia: women can live normally (for some amount of time) without a uterus." Well, ok, but so what?
1 in 3 women have a hysterectomy by the age of 60, the longest lifespan for a parent is to adopt…… having a hysterectomy does not affect livelihood, under the definition of livelihood.
