Right, other people decide at least to some extent. And all of those laws are about what you can and can't do with your body and what can and can't be done to your body, no?

Of course, that was never at issue.

The objection she issued is "Who are you to decide (what I can choose to do with my body or what I must tolerate)." That's what I've been addressing. So see my comment above and your answer above.

So in those cases, who are those people to decide? It's the same thing. She's not constantly asking "Who are you to decide" is she?
