How do you ensure everyone a basic income? you do so by siphoning more resources from the people who are gathering resources to begin with(typically men ironically) restricting their bodily autonomy... seeing the parallels here? Is this not like a baby siphoning resources from a mother? 

Please discuss if its a fair comparison or not below

This doesn't really make any sense, if we're discussing autonomy of the body that has nothing to do with finances and taxes. The conversation literally ends there.  Not to mention that both men and woman are subject to taxes. If you feel like Universal income is against freedom then you should acknowledge that neitther the republicans or democrats ever plan to get rid of taxes so your left vs right argument is already at a dead end.

", if we're discussing autonomy of the body that has nothing to do with finances and taxes. "

you don't have to use your body to work?

"Not to mention that both men and woman are subject to taxes."

i didn't delineate this aspect by sex... but regardless men pay more taxes, after all as feminists argue often men control the world and own most of the capital

"If you feel like Universal income is against freedom then you should acknowledge that neitther the republicans or democrats ever plan to get rid of taxes"

my characterisation of this issue was about support of ubi and abortion simultaneously... does the republican party support either?

no? so why are you trying so hard to build a strawman?
