“Along with their anger about abortion, they grouse about not being allowed to punish students “for being homosexual or transgender.” They also argue they should be able to penalize teaching assistants for “cross-dressing,” by which they appear to mean allowing trans women to wear skirts.”
I’m sure our current SCOTUS, which said that the right to bodily autonomy doesn’t exist because it wasn’t enumerated even though the Constitution clearly says not all rights are, will have no problem using the exact same reasoning to slap these two Texassholes down, right?
Right?
Even before the overturn of roe v wade the right to bodily autonomy, as you’re using the term, did not exist, as even roe v wade concluded that the state might have a compelling interest to restrict abortion in some cases. And most states had some kind of restriction in place.
And when the scotus overturned it, they didn’t remove the right to bodily autonomy, but the implicit right to privacy.
