Whose bodily autonomy? The mother’s or the child’s?
As long as there’s any reasonable debate to that answer, then yes, it’s overreach for the federal government to have a say in it.
The entire foundation of this country is based on individual states having the right to make those types of answers, so that citizens can have the freedom to move to states who support their side of the debate.
If the federal government has the ability to choose the winning side of every debate, there is no republic, no freedom, no choice; only totalitarianism.
It isn't a child and this will affect all citizens, male, female and even unborn.
Without medical privacy, vaccine passports can proceed.
It isn't a child
At what point does it become a child?
For simplicity’s sake, I agree for the most part; the question is just to point out that there is legitimate debate about the issue. Can you kill a fetus the day before it’s born? The day after? Morally, what’s the difference between the two? Is passing through a vagina the only thing that makes an organism human? And if neither are acceptable, then where do you draw the line and why is that timing any better than a different one?
I’m not 100% against the idea of abortion. I am 100% against the federal government making decisions on this level, though. We’re a nation of states, and for a reason. Roe v Wade is a de facto example of federal government overreach.
