Choice: Women’s Bodies

What are the limits to the "choice" logic of Roe v Wade?

On this day, millions without natural affection (and millions of others) celebrate: enough Supreme Court “justices” figured out a woman can do what she wants with her body.

As a result of Roe v Wade, a girl or a woman in the United States may legally…

  • Sell one of her kidneys for research, transplant, or knick-knack.
  • Accept pay in exchange for welcoming a man into her body.
  • Destroy an embryo (or kill a fetus or slice up a baby) within her.

It’s her body, after all.

She can do with her body what she wishes, you know.

The right to choose is hers, no?

Oh. About those three options up there. Only one is true. But why not the other two as well? The failure of logic is a puzzler to me. Unless, of course, the whole thing isn’t about logic. In such a case, it makes sense.
