Against The Stereotype
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose." -Dr. Seuss Coming Soon.
Let's be clear.
Roe v Wade isn't about abortion. It did not answer the question about if abortion was legal or not. It answered three questions:
1) Does a person have autonomy over their body vs when the government can make laws that govern over your autonomy?
2) When does an entity become protected by right to life?
3) When does a person have the right to supercede another's rights?
Abortion is a trigger word. Some consider it murder, some consider the right to choose. However if you replace abortion with literally any other medical question, it becomes crystal clear.
For example, if the President needs a liver and you're the only match, can the government take your liver to save the President's life?
Can the government take your organs without your, or next of kins, expressed consent if you die?
Yesterday, SCOTUS didn't outlaw abortion. They allowed governments to decide when you lose the right to privacy and self determination. They took the right for you to make decisions about your body. They essentially said that the government can tell a woman they MUST become a forced incubator, regardless of their wishes or circumstances, to protect someone else's rights over your own... regardless of viability.
