Why is someone's abortion any one else's business?

American women are seriously infantilized, as if they are still chattel.

1. It isn't.

But some assholes think they have the right to control women and because of that they think they need to know.

3. overt misogyny is very big in the GOP...

it's not that the men just want to keep their wives/girlfriends barefoot and pregnant, they want them quiet and obedient..and when a woman is with child every 18 months then they're too damn tired to talk or express and opinion...

4. It's not

Sadly we have lawmakers and judges old enough to remember when birth control was illegal, a married woman couldn't have a credit card in her own name, and cops never took a male abuser to jail. They grew up believing women were a problem to be controlled, and until they're gone...

5. Not "as if". If their continued abortion is coerced,

if they are put into service of another contrary to their will, if there are things they must do and things they cannot do that they have no say in, if their situation cannot be transferred or assigned to another, then legally they are chattel.

Whatever the court says about the penumbra of privacy, anti-choice laws are a form of slavery or indentured servitude and a violation of the 13th amendment.

18. Never mind the separation of church & state in the Constitution

We are experiencing the religious tyranny of a minority, exacerbated by opportunistic politicians; a nightmare designed to cruelly punish and kill women & girls. It’s horrifying!

8. Because it will be a crime, and law enforcement will be involved

Many rights are nullified in that situation, even now. For example they can forcibly draw blood for a suspected DUI.

Abortion will be a crime and the intrusion will be very bad. Brace yourself

Apparently freedom of religion doesn’t include freedom from religion.

15. It's not, and the majority of Americans don't subscribe to such beliefs.

It's just a minority in the mid to low 20% who think they have a right to rule over others bodies. The rest have opinions but aren't rabid about them by majority.

Which is what makes this so very messed up. It's a minority rule and not democracy.

And more young boys, too. A pathology to be sure.

24. I will prioritize the "voice" of a grown woman over a parasitic zygote

I give the same amount of “voice” to my fingernails that frequently need cutting away whenever I decide they need a bit removed.

People get to decide what they want to do with their body. Nobody else

but don't expect to tell other women what to do. It's none of your business.
