Observation: The “vaccinations are a personal medical choice so get off my back” crowd uses fundamentally the same argument as the pro-choice crowd. And the “require vaccinations to go to school, work, mass gatherings, etc.” tactic is similar to those advocated to make the lives of undocumented immigrants hard.

Comparisons can be useful tools to help us understand new things, but like all tools, they can be dangerous if used improperly or without acknowledging their limitations.

Because A is *like* B does not mean that A is *equal to* B.

SC1 to me it is the American anti-intellectual strain and reward of attention for being ignorant and loud that run through the culture. And, to be fair, the deep resentment for the hypocrisy of the elite and powerful who always have one set of rules for themselves and another for the masses. Calling out hypocrisy seems like a national pastime now. The problem I see is that many people cannot concede that their casual opinions don’t have a good basis of fact or evidence. This happens well before we get to raging about differences in deep moral values that won’t be reconciled easily.

A vessel is an object that a human being shouldn’t be compared to without bringing in unnecessary stigma. A woman certainly HAS a vessel. It’s called a uterus.

Just like a fetus should not be referred to as a parasite. And whatever is happening inside a person’s body is never simple, given the complexity of biological processes.

Can someone who knows more about the law than me explain why the opinion seemed to focus more on when life begins than plain old autonomy? I read both and they seemed to focus a lot on that point. But one of the better arguments I've seen online is that to take even a dead person's organs they had to consent first. Are these 2 totally separate principles or why would that concept not come into play? Or is needing consent from the dead not a federal thing
