Voted "No," and in fact there is no such thing as an absolute right. Nor has there ever been such a thing. In that sense, this question is attempting to close the barn door after the horse is gone.
As the 18th century statesman and political philosopher Edmund Burke wrote, "Government is not made in virtue of natural rights, which may and do exist in total independence of it; and exist in much greater clearness, and in a much greater degree of abstract perfection: but their abstract perfection is their practical defect. By having a right to every thing they want every thing." In that connection, adding, "It is not, what a lawyer tells me I may do; but what humanity, reason, and justice, tell me I ought to do.”
Even in contemporary law, the fanaticism of American political discourse notwithstanding, the right does not exist. There is no right to commit suicide - and if there were the state would have no authority to stop a man from jumping off of a bridge. There is no right to use your body to drive a car - because if there were, such right could not be restricted by a licensing requirement. There is no right to segregate lunch counters. Your body may own the store, but it may not use that right to restrict the rights of others.
Indeed, even the recent debate on vaccinations is silliness on stilts. A child may not attend school if he or she has not been vaccinated against a whole host of illnesses, including rubella, small pox, mumps, measles, etc. The current debate over COVID being an absurd misnomer. The real issue being about what level of government has the authority to regulate vaccination requirements. This typically being left to state and local governments to decide and the recent Federal interventions being a somewhat new innovation.
Even the right to an abortion - itself of only very recent vintage (see Roe v. Wade circa 1973) - is not absolute. The third trimester restriction being in no uncertain terms a limitation of the "right" of a person to do with their bodies what they like. Such restriction would be inconceivable were "My body, my choice" the reigning philosophical, constitutional and legal principle.
In fact, the authority of the state to regulate what an individual may do with his or her body is longstanding and rooted in both moral principle, philosophic considerations and constitutional/legal arguments. The rights of the individual existing in balance with the needs and rights of the community.
To recur to Burke again: "The foundation of government is. . . laid, not in imaginary rights of men, (which at best is a confusion of judicial with civil principles,) but in political convenience, and in human nature; either as that nature is universal, or as it is modified by local habits and social aptitudes. The foundation of government. . . is laid in a provision for our wants, and in a conformity to our duties; it is to purvey for the one; it is to enforce the other... All government, indeed every human benefit and enjoyment, every virtue and every prudent act, is founded on compromise and barter. We balance inconveniences; we give and take; we remit some rights, that we may enjoy others; and we choose rather to be happy citizens than subtle disputants.”
To assert then "My body, my choice" is to assert a principle that cannot be adhered to in practice and is inherently corrupting in theory. It is to embrace an abstraction and look away from the injustices inherent in such an abstraction. It is, as Burke said, to confuse "abstract perfection" with "practical defect." Suffice to say, such confusion pervades American political discourse at the moment, but as a practical matter, American law has never embraced such "abstract perfection."02 Reply- +1 y

@this_is_me_123 Not sure I understand your question. Even the rights articulated in the Bill of Rights are limited in various ways. Free speech, for example, does NOT include libel, slander and various forms of deception. For that matter, you are not free to dispense classified information.
Bottom line, as Burke said of such rights, "their abstract perfection is their practical defect."

I do agree. Good luck finding others who do. SO MUCH double think here, on both the left and right. Vaccine mandates good, abortion bans bad! Or abortion bans good, vaccine mandates bad!
As if anyone, on the left or right, really gives a sh*t about human life. None of you do. People on the left wouldn't even talk to their grandparents or save a homeless guy by donating a dollar to him, but want to act like getting the Fauci Ouchie and virtue signaling for Big Pharma is "saving lives." That eroding away human rights and bodily autonomy is okay because they're paranoid assholes who'll go on Spring Break or riot for George Floyd in 2020, but then act like not wearing a mask in a restaurant or getting a vaccine that wasn't approved for over six months, is "the morally righteous thing to do." Selfish pricks.
Meanwhile people on the right don't even want to pay taxes for starving single mothers or give a single sh*t about all those kids in Afghanistan getting drone striked, and will proceed to sleep with everything that moves. But then act like they give a sh*t about some undeveloped lump of cells and skin of a 6 week old fetus because "life is sacred" and they should tell irresponsible mothers to raise a child for 18 years all while doing f*ck all to actually help contribute to that child. Selfish pricks.
You're all full of sh*t, is what I'm saying. No wonder the elitists use issues like this to control all of you. I can't even blame them with how idiotic both sides act on some bullsh*t any intelligent person like @Xtcy2083 should automatically agree on.73 Reply- +1 y

In terms of abortion, legal abortion should be an option for the father within the same time frame the mother has to decide. If the woman doesn't inform him, he should have no legal obligation as he didn't have the proper conditions to make an informed decision, however he'd have the right to choose to be a part of the child's life with all the obligations that follow.
In cases where the woman didn't know she was pregnant until it's too late for an abortion, it's a woman's responsibility to keep track of her own body when she's sexually active, same as for her health in general.00 Reply
+1 yI'm still on the fence because of conflicting perspectives. If one has a right to do with their body as they please (abortions) than why not the other (vaccines)? Some say not getting a vaccine causes loss of life, yet some say abortions cause loss of life. So why are not both treated the same? After all, abortions cause more loss of life than Covid.

The thing is time eventually heals all wounded lives by eventually shedding the scab. Every death is the memories of a whole lot of misery taken out of this world forever.
And a whole lot of good memories, too, though those tend to be shared enough that some manifestation of them lingers. So, if instead of "should we sacrifice this virgin to the volcano so it doesn't explode?" we ask "should we sacrifice this virgin to the volcano so it doesn't explode 100 years from now when we're all already dead?" we would be still removing the choice but we would be removing it in such a way that shows we're legitimately trying to help the future and not just discarding a girl we don't like because of spite, fear, or superstition. Because if we are honest with ourselves about the 100 year question, the answer is no, we shouldn't sacrifice her if its something that just makes us feel better in the moment, and in being honest with ourselves, we are doomed to acknowledge we aren't actually thinking about anyone 100 years from now.
Of course, this is all a ridiculous example as it equates being eaten by tigers to being thrown into a volcano. Sort of like people who equate pregnancy to a vaccine. Even when there is no obvious metaphor, the important point is they are not the same and so blanket statements with vague connections don't really function as a "gotcha."00 Reply1.9K opinions shared on Other topic. Maybe not after the unborn baby looks like a baby, and not liked a tadpole anymore. I think it's better to get an abortion then to have an unwanted baby up to a certain reasonable point. My mom had a baby when she was 18, said the guy date raped her. Abortions were illegal at that time (1965). She put the baby up for adoption right after birth and regretted it every day for the rest of her life. After my mom reunited with my older sister who was in her early 20's, my older sister wouldn't forgive my mom for giving her away and cut off all contact with my mom. It ripped my mom's heart out all over again. Maybe it would have been better if she got an abortion, I don't know. My friend and his wife decided to get an abortion, and my friend couldn't stop thinking about who that baby could have been. What would their life have been like, would the baby have been the best kid ever, etc. He told her he would never suggest she get an abortion again. They had 3 kids after that. There's a lot of factors that go into the decision.

Someone who wants to get wasted on new year eve and say "my body my choice" is bullshit, because he might later kill someone while driving.
As for abortions, since it's obviously what we're talking about here, yes, of course, it's your body, your choice, but also YOUR consequences.
Whatever you choose, the consequences of it will be yours, and yours only. You want to have the kid and your man doesn't? Well, ok, but you can't ask him to support you, it's your choice. You don't want the kid and your man wants it? Well you can't ask him to stay and support you, it's your choice, not his.
That movement, "my body my choice" is also pushed by people who consider that a man, whether he agrees with that choice or not, has to pay for it, or support it even against his own good. Therefore, it's "my body my choice, but you're the one who pays for it". Unacceptable. You make a choice, you endure the consequences. And if someone wants to support you, it's another choice he'll make on his own.00 Reply1.9K opinions shared on Other topic.

It’s funny how many conservatives believe that the slogan “my body, my choice” applies only to the vaccines and not to the case of abortion.

It is a situational choice
When it comes to things like abortions then yes there should be a choice because there is a destinct impact on the individual. This also does not have an impact on other around.
If you are talking a covid vaccination jab then the decision has an impact on those around you and the health of the nation. Therefore in this situation if you where to give people a choice not having a jab is going to result in tight restrictions because the welfair of the masses need to be the preference.

You cannot keep saying that green is green, until you don't want green to be green anymore, because you are trying to achieve a certain goal, by saying that green is no longer a green, unless we get an outcome that we have planned.

For antivaxer's case, unvaccinated people have higher risk of getting affected by the virus so companies dont choose unvaccinated people for the same reason why they don't choose people with cancer because a death of an employee can affect the company.

I meant people saying others shouldn't control their bodies, but then wanting to control others' bodies, whether it's on abortion or vaccine mandates.
I had a series of questions, plus two MyTakes on the hypocrisy behind this, with not a single person giving a rational explanation for why they are against vaccine mandates (which I agree are bad) but then want to force abortion bans on people. Literally, not a single person gave a rational answer to it, and it was a giant mess of stupidity.
Although Nomoturtle did try to explain their rationale a little bit ('if you do nothing, a baby will be born, but it takes effort to enact COVID mandates; arguing inaction vs action') and was the only one who gave a semi-competent answer. But not even he could rationalize the hypocrisy there, although he wasn't strongly pro-life; just debating for their side.
Why do both the political left and the political right love having the government control people's bodies so much? ↗
The rule I abide by is not to force people to do sh*t they don't want, especially if it can kill them or cause serious health problems (which both the vaccines and abortion can most certainly do).

That would mean the mother would be legally compelled to tell the father she is pregnant by a certain point in the pregnancy, too.

00 Reply 332 opinions shared on Other topic. No. Only for adults and only if it doesn't affect others. By "others" I mean sentient beings by the way. A fetus for example is not sentient and therefor it's not a problem if what you do to your body affects it.

+1 yNo one should tell anyone what to do with their body
10 ReplyNo. for example underage girls dating people over 18 and saying "my body my choice" or wanting to do s3x work or doing p0rn etc and saying "my body my choice" (it is tho in the last one but still girls my age thinking about these things isn't ok)

Minors do not have the ability to give consent. So that doesn’t really count.

No sane person would agree that a 12 year old has the ability to give informed consent

And they are not sane… that’s why there are laws in place to protect children

@imjustadude These days people don't, they kill their kids first and then themselves. Must be the loonies they get from the vaccine.

I also don't think you should be able to eat yourself at a restaurant. Restaurants make money from people buying food not from people cutting their fingers off and snacking on them. I mean if someone wants to open a restaurant where you can do that, fine. But I think it goes without saying that eating yourself is bringing food in from outside which is forbidden at most restaurants.

And I typed “if”. Methinks she doest protest too much.
Do not agree at all. We live together with people and communities. Must consider each other and certainly not harm. If we were living on a lonely island alone it might have been true.
00 ReplyA baby is not your body, it's someone elses. So in the case of abortion they're operating under a false premise. I do agree with the sentiment of my body, my choice when it actually is the case.
00 Reply4.5K opinions shared on Other topic. Nope but it doesn't matter what men think huh. Even though it takes 2. I will say I agree if its rape or incest but if it's just an accident because they didn't use birth control or make the guy wear a condom then that's just pure selfishness
