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 easily

Well should the government regulate behavior that is harmful, but consensual? What about behavior that is not harmful, but is not consensual?

In the first case, no, it should not. In the second, doing something to someone without their consent is harmful. Most people let the vast majority of behavior fall below the dignity of the law. Throwing somebody a surprise party may be nonconsensual, but unless it exists in a context of other nonconsensual acts, it’s socially acceptable. On the other hand, many harmful acts which are consensual are subject to regulation, often intended to reduce the harm done.
