> ...it's your body so you have the right to an abortion. Absolute sovereignty over one's own body was never really a thing. There were always substances that were illegal to consume somewhere. There were always, even today, laws about public decency. There were always laws against suicide. Today things like trans fats and alcoholic energy drinks face bans. So the controversy isn't about whether people get to decide what to do to their bodies, it's about when. I tend to be more libertarian on these issues, but I recognize that the principle of personal bodily sovereignty isn't widely held.
