"No government, politician, or man should tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body" (Unless it's a covid vaccine, or prostitution, then they totally can). - Justin "Socks" Trudeau

    But yeah - access to a life-saving abortion is totally related to a harmless vaccine taken by billions of people.

    Not nearly every abortion is performed to save the life of the mother, and the vaccine isn't harmless for everyone who takes it.

    But this is completely beside the point, these issues are absolutely related, because they both hinge upon whether the government should have the power to determine "what people can or cannot do with their bodies". You are saying that people should have bodily autonomy, but only as long as you agree with them on the particular issue, which isn't bodily autonomy at all. It doesn't matter whether you think the vaccine is reasonable or whether a conservative thinks abortion is murder, bodily autonomy says you don't get to decide for them.

    If you don't actually believe in the principle of bodily autonomy, you don't really have any philosophical ground to defend abortion rights on
