And donating blood is fast, and easy, and almost entirely risk free to the donor, right?

Yet, donating blood is not mandatory. It’s entirely voluntary. Nobody forces you to go through the very minor effort of donating blood to save lives.

Nor is anyone forcing you to get tested for compatibility with people awaiting kidney, or liver, or bone marrow transplants. Those are not minor procedures, but they save lives at relatively little risk to the donor’s life (it takes several months to recover fully), yet nobody suggests that anyone should have to sacrifice their health or an organ to protect the life of someone else.

Unless that organ is a uterus.
