Republican double standard, as always. Vaccine mandate is an attack on freedom, attempts at reasonable gun control legislation are an attack on freedom. Threatening a death penalty for women getting or seeking an abortion is no problem. Freedom and rights only apply to conservative Repub men.
Interesting comparisons. Over 600,000 have died from covid and over 600,000 babies have died from abortions annually. “My body my choice” seems to apply to both vaccines and abortions. Regardless, which side you’re on the issues are comparable.
@Jaxk The issues are not comparable. If I have an abortion, my pregnant neighbor will not miscarry because of it. Using a slogan that has been exclusively associated with women’s reproductive rights for over 50 years to justify defying public health measures is a particularly pernicious method of gaslighting.
@cheebdragon Yeah, forcing women to carry fetuses to term against their will is the American way. Go ‘murica, er, I mean, Gilead! Why not just force them to wear red dresses and white bonnets while you’re at it?
The thing about anti-vaxxers using “my body, my choice” as a slogan is that it’s completely in bad faith. The fact is, those who are in favor of the vaccine by and large do not support forcing anyone to get it. So there is no inconsistency in the position of those who support both promoting the vaccine and defending abortion rights.
