My Body, Your death

When I saw this photo in Facebook I made the following comment:

I remember 50 years ago when “women’s libbers” used that exact same phrase to demand an absolute right to have an abortion at any time under any circumstances. Conservatives were appalled. Now “conservatives” are using this justification only the lives being aborted are those of any neighbor with a compromised immune system or who has to work in a hospital ward full of the sickest Corona virus victims. It gives a whole new meaning to being “pro life”.

Note however: that the women’s libbers were better spellers.
