It kind of amazes me that abortion, an issue largely applicable to a fairly narrow slice of the population, is an important issue in elections.
Most people considering terminating life within themselves are 1) female 2) young 3) pregnant unintentionally.
What percent of humans or voters fit this demographic?
While I believe extremely in medical privacy, and I’m not sure the Supreme Court was wrong to invent a right to privacy in Roe v Wade as a matter of humans rights (if technically improper jurisprudence), I think the real solution here is a constitutional amendment guaranteeing privacy that extends beyond personal papers and effects.
Human rights include commercial privacy. Full stop. If you can’t spend your money privately, you have essentially zero property and privacy rights.
It’s like guaranteeing right to free speech but taxing emission of sound waves into the atmosphere or ink for printing on paper or requiring ID to post text on the internet.
