Either you are an idiot or you think we are, to make such a ludicrous comparison as a mandated mask-wearing during a pandemic, which is for the common good, to the right to decide whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term, which is personal and life-altering.
Wait wait wait.....I thought catching coronavirus or spreading it were also "personal and life-altering" matters because they could result in the death of yourself or someone else? I guess not now. Funny how you just change your argument as it suits you. Now all of a sudden Covid-19 isn't "personal and life-altering," even though Moxie has been idiotically prating about it for months. The good news for you, Moxie, is that Anthony Fauci agrees: he just demonstrated to the world that he doesn't actually believe masks do anything, or else he wouldn't be endangering his 79-year-old life at a baseball game by not wearing one. Fauci isn't dumb, and if he thought that wearing a mask would preserve his elderly life, he would have been doing so at that Nationals game. We all know now that what he really believes is what he said in March during the 60 Minutes interview and in his May 21 article in the New England Journal of Medicine: masks are inconsequential.
It looks like you are saying that abortion is a much bigger deal than coronavirus. And I would absolutely agree with you. That is actually all the more reason that if you are going to have a society "not tell women what to do with their bodies" the mask policy seems like the more logical choice to throw over the side of the boat. More serious decisions are the ones that should not be left to an individual's whim.
That said, why are you so fond of abortion when black women are 5 times more likely to get abortions than white women? Do you agree with Margaret Sanger that abortion is good because it keeps black population numbers down? What is it with you that every policy you believe in results in increased black death, from abortion policy, to policing policy, to economic policy, to gun policy, to drug policy? Everything you advocate results in the deaths of more black people, yet you say that black lives matter. Very bizarre indeed.
Abortion's Racial Gap
Even as the U.S. abortion rate is at its lowest since Roe v. Wade, women of color are five times as likely to terminate a pregnancy as their white counterparts. Why?
