As a reminder, bodily autonomy is the self-determination of one’s own body without outside interference. And since she acknowledges the unborn are people, Judith’s argument debunks itself. Yes, women shouldn’t have someone else tell them what to do with their bodies. But neither should their child have someone else govern theirs. One’s rights cannot and should not elevate above another’s. Judith’s approach to bodily autonomy has key flaws. For starters, the intent is vastly different. In her violinist argument of detaching oneself as life support for another, the best case-scenario is both living dependently.
Thank you Tori for watching and commenting. I love your comment about both lives living dependently. Life is all about relationship including between mother and child. Take care.
