And with this, a major precedent for the right to bodily autonomy is gone. Vaccine mandates incoming the moment Biden's so called next pandemic hits.
State and local mandates are here, but there's no federal mandate despite their best efforts.
Like every possible avenue available.
Abortion was never a precedent for bodily autonomy. Second, there are 2 bodies involved with an abortion, not one.
That was litterly the argument. This is a loss
Except for the baby, you'd suppose.
RvW used bodily autonomy as the justification for abortion protection. The courts saw it as one body.
No, they didn't. They made the decision of Roe on a right to privacy, not bodily autonomy. In fact, the only SCOTUS decision on vaccine mandates, was that the poor fellow had to take the shot or pay a fine. The guy paid the $5 fine and walked.
Privacy/autonomy are basically the same thing in this context.
The argument about when life begins hasn't been settled.
Scietifically, it's a human being. Just not a fully developed one, just as a baby isn't fully developed either.
The question is when is "personhood".
