I am pro-choice, but the wave of democrats invoking the principle of bodily/medical autonomy after spending the last two years trying to force people to get vaccinated against their will is fucking disgusting. Fuck all of you crying bitches that did not support my bodily autonomy that now expect yours to be protected, I hope you bleed out from back-alley coathanger abortions. Neither side cares about bodily autonomy, they care about their platforms of inconsistent policies that flagrantly violate the principles they have invoked on other special interests.

Also while I personally don't like the outcome of abortion being restricted, it is pretty clear that states can make more restrictive laws than the federal government as long as it does not violate constitutional rights, which this does not. I would however fully support enshrining bodily autonomy in the bill of rights alongside my other civil liberties.

Sorry mate - I genuinely don't understand the passion people have about their objections to a perfectly safe vaccine (with the exception of the 1 / billion who required temporary blood thinning medication). And I don't see that as related to the national protection of a women's rights. The only potential connection is that the vaccine helped build immunity and protect billions of people from COVID, whereas human rights protections for womens' reproductive rights are now struck from the Constitution, making the US a 3rd-world country where human rights are concerned, and millions of people will now suffer, of all walks of life, especially if they are middle-class or poor.
