Roe v. Wade
- wizofaus 4y agoI assume you mean the overturning of and the lengths to which certain states appear to be going in order to determine whether women have attempted to have now-illegal abortions? I'd agree that's a pretty reasonable example of why we still need the ability to pay for things in an untraceable manner and why to object to any attempt to phase out cash as a legitimate method of payment. But I'd also much rather have constitutional protections that don't allow governments to declare consensual surgical procedures on your own body to be illegal.
- logicalmonster 4y ago> But I'd also much rather have constitutional protections that don't allow governments to declare consensual surgical procedures on your own body to be illegal. Interesting concept, but a few quick thoughts on this. 1) I'd only point out that there exists a point of view that that says that a baby's body is a separate life from a woman's body. 2) Such a constitutional protection would open up some very complicated issues when it comes to children, particularly with regards to sexuality. 3) Many of the same people who very eloquently speak out on personal choice in some medical matters "lost the plot" during Covid. Who can credibly make this argument and advocate for such a policy credibly?
- wizofaus 4y agoWell I have no desire to turn this into an abortion debate, but it certainly concerns me how easy it is in a country like the US for governments to criminalise women's personal health decisions. But mainly it is a reminder that there likely will always be legitimate reasons to hide your activities from authorities in certain cases.

By that point of view it would be reasonable to separate both bodies if one of them wishes to be left alone, so both can move on with their lifes. Equal rights.
