Deal on Body Autonomy?

[tmaynardr]

Should we be willing to negotiate mandatory COVID vaccines in a way that would remove the mandate in exchange for passing Roe v. Wade into statutory law?

Republicans are arguing that they should not be forced to take the COVID vaccine premised on an argument of individual rights and ability to make their own health care decisions. Rather than argue against them, why not just agree and say this should be written into statutory law and draft the law in such a way to include women's health care rights and decisions?

I realize this is a simplistic argument, just throwing this out for general discussion.

1. As an alternative, make vaccinations mandatory, with criminal sanctions for failure to vaccinate

and then empower every citizen to apprehend, sue and even punish anyone they know, believe, or imagine is violating this rule.

4. Yes, that makes more sense.

Antivaxxers are dangerous to the public at large; women controlling their own uteri threaten nobody.

5. There you go! Obviously that cannot stand, so neither can the new Texas law. Boom!

3. Apples and oranges.

Refusing to mask/fax puts others, often man others, at risk.
