Here at TIE O’ THE DAY, thanks to recent SCOTUS decisions, we’ve been feeling like my gun has more Constitutional rights and protections than my body does. Nevertheless, I believe that a woman has the right to determine what her body will and will not do—especially when it comes to what happens inside her body. She is not an incubator. The ultimate choice in matters of potential childbearing should be made by the one person who will bear all the health risks, most of the practical responsibilities, and all of the physical, emotional, and moral consequences of her decision. A right is not a freebie. Every right we exercise comes at a huge cost. It seems to me that the one who will pay the price with their very body is the one who gets to decide what to do with it. I side with free agency and its complicated consequences.
