Do you own your body?

and you definitely don't according to noem, questioned by Dana Bash about the raped 10-year old who was 3 days too late for a home state abortion so had to travel out of state for the procedure.

when questioned if noem would have an exception to the law if such an instance in her state arose, she first tried to go off on a tangent about the rapist but Bash drove her point home:

Bash tried again, asking if she would “change the law to have an exception for a situation like that?”

“I can’t even imagine. What I would say is I don’t believe a tragic situation should be perpetuated by another tragedy,” Noem finally said. “And so there’s more that we’ve got to do to make sure that we really are living a life that says every life is precious, especially innocent lives that have been shattered like that 10-year-old girl.”
so, no, this hypothetical 10-year old in her state definitely wouldn't get a say and would be forced to carry a pregnancy at great risk to her own body. But don't worry! noem will lose sleep over that story and suffer in her heart. thortz'n'prayz
 
And suicide. If we're not allowed to self-terminate, then we don't own our bodies.
This is an interesting point. Short of liefelong confinement and restraint along with intervention whenever needed (think IV during a hunger strike), no one can really prevent you from committing suicide. Absent that, no law will stop you if you're really intending to do it. All the law can really do is make it illegal for anyone to profit from that suicide.

So in this regard, you do actually own your body.
 
Why can't the government compel you to donate blood to preserve another human life?
I don't know. Has the U.S. government ever tried and have the courts said anything about it? If so, I'm not familiar with it.
 
will the 13th amendment be of any help moving forward on the issue of abortion?

Denying the rights of reproductive health and choice, bodily integrity and personal autonomy was essential to U.S. slavery, which recognized enslavers’ complete dominion over the people they enslaved. U.S. slavery also forced enslaved women to reproduce, which fueled the domestic slave trade after the official prohibition on the importation of enslaved people into the U.S. in 1808.
With the power of the 13th Amendment, Congress can enact reasonable laws that protect these rights today. Just as slavery branded all Blacks with slavery’s “badges and incidents,” regardless of status, Blackness rather than any other aspect of identity would trigger rights protected by any law enacted by Congress using its enforcement power under the amendment today. The 14th Amendment’s equal protection guarantee, meanwhile, would allow non-Black people to assert their right to enjoy the same rights the 13th Amendment grants to Black people as a matter of racial equality.
To be clear, this is not a claim that forced pregnancy, which occurs when abortion is not an option, and the absence of the full spectrum of other reproductive justice rights is analogous to slavery. Nor is it a plea for equality regardless of sex or gender. Rather, it is a direct claim that a law protecting Black people’s reproductive health is essential to Black freedom because enslavement denied Black people rights, including those recognized in Roe.

However it really should be very obvious why people cannot be compelled to donate organs or other tissues against their will. That is unless you believe that others should have access to your body to save their lives. Think about what that means logistically and logically.
 
Adrina has only two more abortions to go on her loyalty card before the next one’s free….there’s no chance she’ll ever think of it as getting rid of a baby.

Dermatologist, gynecologist… same thing to her.

It's always fun when you prove yourself to be too dumb for the conversation.
 
And by voting. But then I'm a bit over telling the younger set to vote. They seem to be very content at letting the ancient out of touch boomers decide their fates. I'm glad that this bullshit isn't something I'm going to have to live my youth through.
 
Are there any DOCUMENTED examples of methotrexate being denied because of an abortion law? The Lupus Foundation and The American College of Rheumatology have made statements about being “aware of reports” and “concerns” but I can’t find any specific cases identified. Maybe there are and I just haven’t found them. But this sounds like misleading speculation.
