My position is that body autonomy IS a right - both natural and enumerated (4th mendment).
And so is life. Including the life of a fetus. Neither side in this debte is making anything up.
The issue
cannot be whether a fetus has a right to life. You murder a pregnant woman, you catch a double homicide - and rightly so.
Nor can the issue be whether a woman has a right to control her body. That is a no-brainer (Well, it WAS, anyway, before covid. Now, the left wants to control women's bodies, poke them with things against their will).
So it comes down to competing rights - an extremely common thing in the world of law. I side with the actual member of the polity over the potential member, because I am a mature adult.
But, hey - we hve fifty states. People can pick and choose.
Yup. It appears that we lurched in that direction.
Life sure is messy.
Gun permit needed here, cross a border and don't need it there.
Not ok to kill a baby here, drive to a place where you can.
Casino yes, casino no.
Zones...
Please seat yourself.
I like the very things you hate.
