> you're either in the religious freedoms camp or the bodily autonomy camp
An abortion kills a baby by directly attacking his or her body (dismemberment, lethal injection, etc.). You can firmly be in the bodily autonomy camp and in the religious freedoms camp at the same time.
- cpgxiii 4y agoYou can't claim to be in the "bodily autonomy" camp and believe in compelling actual living people to use their bodies to carry a fetus to term.
- svieira 4y agoEither there is some higher principle at play which regulates bodily autonomy or else I can punch anyone who shakes my hand in a way I don't like the moment I don't like it. If there is a principle that requires that I not punch the wet-fish handshaker that principle (or some other one) might require that I care for a child for longer than I would like to.
- lolinder 4y agoIf you believe in fetal personhood, you absolutely can. At that point it's a question of whose body autonomy gets precedence, not of whether body autonomy is important.
