//Why is there an exception on having full bodily autonomy with abortion and not the COVID vaccine?//

Does this really need to be explained to you? COVID is a contagious disease, and therefore affects other people! It's not "my body, my choice," it's "my choice, your bodies!" Are you really so simple that the difference between pregnany and virology needs to be explained to you

Second, you're argument that Roe v. Wade was passed by men. No one cares! You and you alone are making this a uternan issue because you're looking for a reductio ad absurdum agrument. And it is absurd and stupid! Roe v. Wade was a landmark case where justices recognized that the state did NOT have the right to dictate what women could and couldn't do with their bodies.

It was overturned based on regressive religious and political ideology! And that ideology is driven predominantly by old white men, plus a few token minorities and women they love to keep around so they don't look completely racist and sexist.

//Being a woman inherently carries the moral burden of carrying a child.//

According to who? You? What logic, other than the most shallow, weak, and sexist, are you basing that? Because a woman can get pregnant, she must and needs to carry the child to term? Good job demonstrating that you can't begin to fathom what "human rights" mean!

//We don't know where human rights derive from precisley.//

So you don't see it as a human right, so it doesn't count? Who gives a shit? You're not the one being forced to carry a child and then raise it! Also, we don't need to know where human rights come from. We just know we believe in them and that they should apply consistently. And that's where your problem begins, you don't think it should apply here. Oh well...

Also, its extremely hypocritical you would try to water down the idea of rights when you go on to say "life is sacred." From what do you derive that value? Religion, reason, philosophy, science - the very process you said was "arbitrary." Sorry, simple man, but you can't argue Sophistry one minute and beliefs the next.

This article is also laughably titled. You can't begin to appreciate what its overturning means, you don't have the depth or intelligence to do so. Hence you're in no position to say "it doesn't matter anyway."
