The Unsung Death of ‘My Body, My Choice’

As late as 3:43 p.m. on Thursday, September 9, the long-lived mantra of the pro-abortion movement, “My Body, My Choice,” was still showing signs of life. It was at that time, that the White House published the remarks made by Vice-President Kamala Harris at a “Reproductive Rights” roundtable.

“The President and I are unequivocal in our support of Roe v. Wade and the constitutionality of Roe v. Wade, and the right of women to make decisions for themselves with whomever they choose — about their own bodies,” said Ms. Harris.

“And, needless to say,” Harris continued much too quotably, “the right of women to make decisions about their own bodies is not negotiable. The right of women to make decisions about their own bodies is their decision; it is their body.”

So far is Harris out of the White House power loop that she may not have known the mantra had less than two hours to live.

Although clearly on the defensive, Harris was targeting the wrong enemy at the White House roundtable. She thought the threat to “My Body, My Choice” came from those rascally Republicans in Texas that had passed the Texas Heartbeat Act. Despite legal challenges, the new law had gone into effect just a week earlier.

It would be ironic in an epic sort of way if the U.S. Supreme Court were to issue a ruling in the next year establishing that the “right of privacy” made up out of thin air in Roe v. Wade (1973) officially gutted the prior Supreme Court ruling in Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905) that gave state governments the authority to mandate vaccines.

The Court could square that circle by holding that Jacobsen remained good law but that Roe was not because state intrusions on personal autonomy and privacy are constitutionally permitted only for compelling reasons like saving human life and must be addressed through clear legislative enactments. In the absence of Congressional action, that would end both abortion on demand and mass vaccination mandates, with those issues devolving to the states and their legislatures.

Except in the case of covid shots.

Now it’s “YOUR body, MY choice”

The next forced injection will be for the younger women only. There is a clear and present danger to the survival of the Democratic party. They require more voters in the future. All liberal and Democratic young women shall be artificially inseminated and mandated to deliver full term future democrat voters.

Sounds way out there? Why is that? The COVID injection can KILL YOU or MAME YOU. Artificial insemination brings life, joy, clouds of happiness in new babies.

With leftists, it’s “Your body, my choice.”
And it will continue until we reply, “Your body, die, die, die.”
Not kidding.

Its really quite simple, we scuttle the Marxist totalitarian elitist ba$tards.

No mincing around.

We DO IT!

My body, my choice.

Unless it’s about a failed, highly-dangerous gene therapy, in which case you’re shamed to no end by your friends, family, employer, co-workers, and government.

[wastedyears]

It’s not constitutional to force any vaccine.

That might just happen with the next term of SCOTUS.

DOBBS V. JACKSON WOMEN S HEALTH ORGANIZATION 19-1392 could go a long way to that sort of remedy.

[Rockingham]

The courts have held otherwise.

[CodeToad]

The courts also held up slavery.

You really want to have some fun, what if the Supreme Court declared that ONLY people of Color had the RIGHT to abortions.

White women did not and must carry their babies to term.

All of a sudden you would see claims that “whites” were trying to kill off “Coloreds” by legal means, claims that “Whites” would be making more white voters!

What a mess!

[Rockingham]

That doesn’t mean that every person therefore gets to declare whether something is constitutional. Right or wrong, the Supreme Court is the final arbiter on constitutional issues.

Apply that to the emanation of a penumbra when it comes to the wholesale slaughter of the unborn. Does that sound "constitutional" to you?

Just because a bunch of black-robed tyrants say something, doesn't automatically cause it to be okay or based in fact.

[Rockingham]

By constitutional I mean only that the US Supreme Court has declared something to be constitutional. The correctness of their rulings is another matter.
