And for the umteenth time. You are asserting a right to "body autonomy" that does not exist and never has.
Sure it does.
In Canada, for example.
For example. In the first 13 weeks (give or take) the SCOTUS has said a woman has the right to choose. This has nothing to do with what you call "body autonomy". It has to do with a decision by the authorities as to when viability begins.
I doubt this.
Even though you guys have no explicit right to body autonomy, it does influence US civil rights.
A man does not have the "right" to your so-called "body autonomy". He can be drafted and forced at the threat of imprisonment or even death to sacrifice his body and even his very life to the government. And yes, the US still has a draft.
The last person drafted was in 1973. 48 years ago.
When the last time abortion was limited in the USA was 48 years ago, you can make this comparison. But now it just seems incorrect.
No person has "body autonomy" anyway. For example, one can easily survive on one kidney, and a kidney can bring as much as $200,000.00. Never the less it is against the law to sell one's kidney.
But you can donate it. So, it is not body autonomy that is restricted. It is, instead, the selling and buying of human organs.
It is illegal in four states to offer surrogate pregnancy.
Yes. As I said, pregnancy is the exception where body autonomy is not respected.

No citizen has the right to put any substance into their body that they wish. The states are articulating the right to control how your body is used in that regard also. Voluntary euthanasia is illegal in the US.

The fact that the US ignores this right consistently and frequently does not mean they do not have the right. They just apply it inconsistently.
So I have clearly shows withconcrete examples, that no such thing as "body autonomy" exists as a right.
No.
And also note that I pointed out that your constitution makes no mention of it.
So add to that the fact that the SCOTUS allows the forcing of women to bring a child to term and that is the end of it. We already know that you do not agree with them. A great many people don't. That does not alter the fact that there is, at least in the US, no right to "body autonomy".
No, that is incorrect.
If that were the case, vaccines could be made compulsory.
