The outrage here is that they violated our basic rights as Women by suddenly overturning a law with no warning or input from citizens.
The further outrage is that they’re actually being revolting enough to chase after us for it.
What a disgusting, disturbing, revolting country. :( ‘freedom’, lol…
This statement is kind of funny when the right you're referring to was invented (right or wrong) by a group of unelected judges, and is now open to be legislated on by the citizens you want input from.
No.
Humans (and that includes women) have agency. That includes bodily autonomy and any "law" that restricts that is unethical, misogynistic and flat wrong.
Don't like abortion? Don't have one. As far as anyone else is concerned it's none of your concern.
If that's what you believe, then you should have no problem being required, under penalty of imprisonment or execution to:
1. Submit blood/dna samples to a state organ donor program;
2. Give up a kidney, a lung, part of your liver, perhaps a testicle to someone who is a good donor match.
What you're advocating is essentially the same thing.
What's that? You don't want to be required to do so?
Why is that?
As an aside, according to the Donor Care Network[0]:
"Kidney donor surgery has a .007% mortality rate, which means that on average, for every 100,000 living donor surgeries, seven donors die."
At the same time, according to the CDC[1]:
"In 2020, 861 women were identified as having died of maternal causes in the United States, compared with 754 in 2019 (3). The maternal mortality rate for 2020 was 23.8 deaths per 100,000 live births"
Making it more than three times as dangerous for a woman to carry a child to term than it is to donate a kidney.
Would you support legislation that would require you to provide a kidney, part of your liver, a lung or some other organ to another person? And if you refuse, you will be subject to imprisonment or even the death penalty if the designated recipient died?
If not, then why is it okay to have laws that require essentially the same thing from women with functioning reproductive systems, with the additional burden of such a requirement entailing more than three times the risk of death than donating a kidney?

Edit: Fixed typos. Added the missing link.
In the case of an abortion the right to autonomy clashes with the right to not be murdered. And that is what has had a significant portion of the population so up in arms that they spent fifty years trying to get a supreme court that would overturn Roe because they correctly think that point is before birth. How much before birth is what needs to go through the sometimes ugly but often cathartic democratic process at the state level.
Right. This (non)person (an embryo/fetus) has the problem that it cannot exist outside the womb for at least six months, therefore a woman can be compelled to literally give up her flesh and body for nine months -- against her will?
So. By your logic, if a person will die without your help, even if you don't know/like/want them around and you don't help them, you're a murderer.
That's what you seem to be claiming.
Does it sound absurd? It should, because it is. And that's what you're advocating.
Also, talking about at what point a fetus can survive outside the womb is a non winning argument as well because it's shockingly early and getting earlier every year due to medical breakthroughs. You and I both won't like where the legal limit on abortion ends up by that metric.
No, you are a murderer if you choose to kill someone and act on your choice. You keep trying to put words in my mouth that I did not say because you have talking points for those words whereas you don't seem to have talking points for what I actually said.
Also I am really not sure if you have any comprehension or experience of the actual pregnancy process because you keep couching it in terms of you actively helping someone when that really isn't the case (you get better results if the mother is helping but it isn't required). As long as you keep doing the basic things that were keeping you alive before pregnancy 9 months later it is highly likely a kid will be born, especially as the pregnancy progresses further along into the later months where most people have the most problem with abortion. The active choice in a pregnancy is to terminate it or not, the rest of it can be surprisingly passive and still work (although if you choose to not terminate it and also choose to be passive you are a terrible person, which is unfortunate but not illegal).
And I disagree. What other people do witht their bodies is none of your (or anyone else's) business.
Anything else is just being a a busybody.
Edit: To clarify, bodily autonomy is an individual right which shouldn't be limited or proscribed by any government, local, state or federal.
