(1) “Women should have choice about their own bodies”
(2) “People should be required to get a vaccine.”
One statement advocates for personal choice and the other advocates against it.
But keep in mind that not getting a vaccine puts people near you at risk - you could have an asymptomatic case of COVID, they could catch it, and they'll have a slim but non-zero risk of death. But getting an abortion affects one person: the woman getting an abortion.
To me, the real hypocrisy is between the ideas that:
(1) An embryo the size of a grain of rice (i.e. 6 weeks after conception, I'm looking at YOU, Texas) deserves the same protection as a human being, and
(2) It's "giving undeserving people free stuff" to provide a safety net for babies, children and adults.
It’s a shame that people need mandates to make them do things that should come naturally from their kindness towards their fellow humans.
