A video response to MiggetyMike1 who claims that J.J. Thomson's violinist thought experiment is not analogous to a woman seeking an abortion.
MiggetyMike1's video: youtube.com/watch?v=F_X4mxSuYyY
Miggety Mike's 4 Objections:
1) The responsibility objection
2) The bedridden objection
3) The killing/letting die objection
4) The maternal relationship objection

My general strategy:
Look at each alleged disanalogy and either
(a) Tweak the original thought experiment to accommodate the disanalogy, or
(b) deny that it's a morally relevant disanalogy
