There's a lot to respond to here and I've got to do something soon. So I'll just respond to one point now and the rest later.

How are the two at all connected?  I don't understand how you can claim my analogies are so flawed, then come up with your bizarre and irrelevant analogies and find them better.

You mentioned the "fulfilling its design" thing in regards to a uterus dealing with a pregnancy. Well I mentioned a scenario where a girl wasn't exactly "meant" to live long enough to reproduce. Whether by genetics or the way she was born she wouldn't "naturally" have lived long enough to even worry about pregnancy. In such a scenario is it okay to grant her unbound abortion rights if she wants it?

 In the very poignant words of my friend Warbler, "That is asinine."  I never said a uterus should fulfill it's purpose.  I'm saying it is designed for pregnancy.  As much as you might want, it will never pump blood for you.  It's designed for a specific function, and therefore the heart analogy was poor.  This example is only exacerbating the flaws of such thinking.
