A significant role of the government is telling people what they can and can’t do with their bodies If this is the best the pro-choice activists have no wonder roe v wade was overturned so easilyireallylikepancakes
It’s so funny to me that the “Should I need a license to toast bread in my own toaster?!” folks make up a large amount of the crowd preventing women from doing what they want with their bodies.As napoleon would say, never interrupt your enemy when they’re making a mistake . Right wingers should have no problem supporting abortion rights when most people getting abortion are left-wing . Same with whining about birth rates when it’s mostly left wing people who don’t reproduce
Again, all of these laws regulate choices that impact OTHER PEOPLE. That’s why it ceases to be an autonomy issue. The philosophical core here is whether or not the fetus counts as a person. If you think the fetus is a person, abortion bad. If you don’t, then abortion is permissible. You gotta be the dumbest mf on here.
Seatbelt laws are kinda dumb when it’s about adults (you should absolutely be legally required to strap in your child who doesn’t know better lmao), Heroin use should not be a criminal offense, only distribution should, and organ selling encourages a dangerous market and human trafficking rings. That’s all pretty easy law to justify or simply not agree with on the harm principle.
Not sure where I should be taking away that my post is incorrect The government spends a lot of time telling people what is allowed or acceptable to do with their body Fact Various complex extrapolations of the no harm principle can be stretched as far as you want them to, doesn’t really seem like it’s a counter
I strongly believe the people in the politics thread deserve to get a strong taste of their own medicine, and most of the people here are childish and really struggle with complex policy positions If you act competent and honest, I have plenty of positive interactions. Too many people can’t understand politics and cannot engage in civil disagreement
