> That is refreshing as most people screaming my body my choice were some of the first demanding forced vaccinations. because the two issues are not even remotely linked. You get vaccinated for the community, it's a "bigger than you" problem, it's for "the greater good". Women that want to get an abortion most of the time didn't want the baby they are carrying, they were forced to. So it's reversed: if someone forced…

No because they use the same argument, the child is bigger than "you", or us, it is against the religion that is above "all of us".

If you're a man, you have no right to have an opinion about abortion. Only a woman can truly understand what it means to be pregnant, to give birth, to bring a new life into being. A man might have a possessive, proprietary attitude about it, but it's a removed and intellectual understanding at best. A woman understands it from her gut, from her body. To hear men pontificating about how women should behave is ludicro…

> If you're a man, you have no right to have an opinion about abortion. Yeah, no. The roles of men and women in reproduction are different, but that doesn't exclude either one from the conversation. The real issue is that before being born, the would-be child is literally feeding on the mother like a parasite. No one should be forced to endure that against their will. That needs to be a voluntary act of sacrifice on…

States ought not ban medical procedures which are mainstream in major countries around the world on the basis of religious ideology, but unfortunately that's what's happening in states like Texas. This is a private matter between any individual and their doctor. Of course rich individuals will still be able to fly to countries like UK or Germany to receive mainstream medicine backed by mainstream science.

>on the basis of religious ideology Having read the leaked opinion, it has nothing at all to do with religious ideology, but rather separation of powers. The fact is, Congress should have acted years ago (including most recently under Obama when they had a supermajority) to enshrine abortion rights in federal law since Roe was always on weak ground constitutionally. Also, medical advancements and knowledge have grown…

I don't have strong opinions about roe or gay marriage. I do have strong opinions against kritarchy. Right or wrong, I don't like the idea of the Yale law school sharia council overriding the will of the electorate. It may have worked for you in recent history, but as they say, " past performance is not indicative of future results ."

voters are in favour of both --- While public support for legal abortion has fluctuated some in two decades of polling, it has remained relatively stable over the past five years. Currently, 59% say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while 39% say it should be illegal in all or most cases. --- U.S. support for legal same-sex marriage continues to trend upward, now at 70% -- a new high in Gallup's trend si…

If SCOTUS indeed overturns Roe v. Wade, it would be a great day for human dignity and sanctity of innocent lives in the US.
