Topic	Should bodily autonomy be a human right?
Glob 01/27/23 2:20:44 AM #7:	Xatrion posted... I've always been a major proponent of bodily autonomy. You want to smoke yourself into a vegetative stupor? Go ahead. Have sixteen abortions? Knock yourself out. Jump off a bridge? Why not? It's not, nor should it ever be, up to the state or anyone else to tell you how to live your life. The bottom line is a stretch. I understand the sentiment, but it is literally part of the states purpose to determine how it is acceptable to live our lives. Thats how we get rule of law.
