For those of you who are against mandated vaccination...are you also against mandated pregnancy?

If you're arguing your body, your choice when it comes to vaccines would you argue the same for a woman's right to choose what happens to her body in terms of reproduction?

Would you say the same applies to the other argument from the other side? In this instance: Because one says: "My body, my choice," they also conclude the same with vaccines and that vaccine mandates are wrong? Just curious. Ive watched both the left and right literally cripple themselves to death over this and it's just one of various reasons why i find both sides a joke. The phrase "my body, my choice" technically implies a woman could do whatever she wants with her body, and a person can choose not to get the vaccine if they see fit. Of course there is the argument from the right that abortion is not about the woman and is instead about the baby's body. That's for a different time and different day. But again im just curious to see your take on the my body my choice thing.

Yeah there's no reason it can't go both ways.

@astrosandorbits One is a public health issue.

One is not a mandate but a regulation; the other is immutable law. I can say, if you choose not to have a vaccine, you may not enter this park/board this plane/enroll in this school/work with the public... You have other options.

One cannot say have this child or you can't shop at this store, hold this position, be in this area. They are saying you have zero options and must either separate yourself from your natural child or spend the rest of your life dedicated to its welfare.

Can you not see the distinction?

@Graylight i didnt state my opinion on the matter. I see a distinction between the two issues completely, yes. I simply am saying the right and left arguing over the "My body, my choice" for these two things is idiotic.

@astrosandorbits Oftentimes, replies and posts here use a particular platform in order to speak to the larger community that exists here, to spark debate or discussion, or simply because your original language was unclear. I wouldn't take it too personally.

@astrosandorbits It means, simply, sometimes "you" is just the general "you."
