The Supremes in the US have just ruled "My body, my choice" does not apply to abortion, so that undercuts things a bit.
But pregnancy or its termination isn't contagious. Airborne viruses are and so the effect of not-vaccinating is larger and the ability of a sick individual to affect others is far greater.
EDIT: Smoking, seatbelts, vaccination prior to entering elementary school, ... these are not contentious like Covid.
- h2odragon 5y agoIn fact the Supremes have not ruled; the current fluff is about a leaked draft decision that may not have had more than marginal relation to any decisions they may eventually make. I suspect it may have been one of a set of "write the opinion you'd write if no one else objected to anything you said," which are then collected and reconciled to see how much common ground there is and generate an agenda for negotiations.
