[quote]In what other context is someone’s body, health and daily life commandeered to save another? No one would countenance a law that said a person who is a bone marrow or organ match is legally obligated to donate to another. There may be a moral imperative (if the person’s life and health would not be impacted), but we do not override an individual’s bodily integrity against his or her will even for noble purposes. We generally do not punish bystanders who refuse to come to the rescue of others in distress, especially when there is any risk to themselves.

Sotomayor asks how anti-abortion argument is ‘anything but a religious view’
Justice Sonia Sotomayor questioned the Mississippi solicitor general during oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on Dec. 1. (The Washington Post)
The motives behind the antiabortion movement become clear when one recognizes that even though abortion is legal, the incidence of abortion has dropped dramatically. Hence, permissive laws do not mean the procedure happens more often. If we want to reduce abortions, we arguably should be doing precisely what we have been doing over the past few decades.[/quote]

VACCINE MANDATES[/quote]

I mean that's just ridiculous.

A. You don't get arrested if you don't take the vaccine, you just have to find another job
B. A vaccine is not an entity that uses you to sustain itself, it's the instructions to help your body fight off a disease
C. Are you seriously equating getting a couple of shots to pregnancy and childbirth? That is hilarious. Thanks for a great start to my weekend![/quote]

Control over my body is control over my body. Doesn't matter if we are talking about vaccines, pregnancy, or any other medical procedure. [/quote]

I agree that we should have a choice. A choice to remain pregnant or not and a choice to be vaccinated. Both choices currently exist, only the right to choose abortion is at risk. [/quote]

Im pro choice but let’s stick to the facts and avoid hyperbole.  Choice to get an abortion isn’t at risk. If the Roe is struck down then the right to an abortion would be decided at the state level and the majority of states would continue to support pro choice.[/quote]

What you mean is, choice will still exist for women who live in some states, and women who have money nationwide.  This ruling only removes rights from poor women, victims of domestic violence, and minors who are being abused. That’s not a subset of the population the GOP cares about anyway.[/quote]

Last time I checked it was fairly easy to travel across state lines.[/quote]
Try doing it from Texas. When every neighboring state has a law already in place that will automatically make abortion illegal the minute Roe is overturned.[/quote]

Oh, I hadn’t realized Texas had closed its borders.[/quote]

“Louisiana residents seeking abortion care would have to travel the longest distances, 666 miles one-way.”

Who cares about the low-income women without a car or gas money? Or time to take extra days off of work or away from their families. Fck those poor sluts. Right?

You people are disgusting.
