Saying women can’t choose to have abortions unless we’re raped is telling us we don’t EARN autonomy over our own bodies until a man violates it.

Saying parents have a right to circumcise boys is telling boys and men that they don't have autonomy over their bodies, and that their autonomy can and will be violated.

@ttpphd @OhNoSheTwitnt forcing children to get their ears pierced so "they" won't feel left out is telling them they'll never have autonomy over anything and only be subject the whims of society

@ttpphd @OhNoSheTwitnt so you know that antisemitic conspiracy theory where the media introduces things into our lives early so that we just accept it later in life when they make radical social changes

@ttpphd @OhNoSheTwitnt Because an infant has autonomous decision-making power???

Infants have a right to bodily integrity, male or female. A person doesn't need to have decision making capacity for it to be immoral to cut their genitals.

@ttpphd I don’t disagree. But if you’re saying a male infant, who is incapable of making such decisions for himself, should have bodily autonomy, than certainly a female who is mature enough to become pregnant should also have that autonomy.

Yes. Abortion is health care. I am for free abortion access, no limits. Banning abortion is a violation of autonomy. Autonomy is one of my core values (check out my profile page).
