what happens when the "demographic collapse" becomes the current thing, and abortion becomes a "public health" issue? Will we see another change then?
I think many people who have been repeating slogans without thinking about them are suddenly wondering if they actually believe in a principle of bodily sovereignty or not. I kinda hope so.
The Supremes in the US have just ruled "My body, my choice" does not apply to abortion, so that undercuts things a bit.
But pregnancy or its termination isn't contagious. Airborne viruses are and so the effect of not-vaccinating is larger and the ability of a sick individual to affect others is far greater.
EDIT: Smoking, seatbelts, vaccination prior to entering elementary school, ... these are not contentious like Covid.
In fact the Supremes have not ruled; the current fluff is about a leaked draft decision that may not have had more than marginal relation to any decisions they may eventually make.
I suspect it may have been one of a set of "write the opinion you'd write if no one else objected to anything you said," which are then collected and reconciled to see how much common ground there is and generate an agenda for negotiations.
The words might change. The result will not - it will be 6-3 or 5-4. Probably the latter as Roberts will vote for no change to try (and fail) to preserve his legacy.
You dont have to get the vaccine. You just cant participate in global commerce without it. If you want to choose no vaccine, there are consequences, just like many choices in real life.

Is that still true, though?
