Evidently we're going to have a debate about vaccine mandates and abortion at the same time--that is, both culture war tribes are simultaneously going to take both positions on the rights to medical privacy and "my body my choice" autonomy

it's never been taken seriously before. it shouldn't be taken seriously now. it's still a flimsy rhetorical attempt at a gotcha with fairly obvious rejoinders for anyone capable of nuance...so, usually not the culture warriors.
i don't know what else to say really, it's a pretty basic ethical position. you don't have the right to force someone to do something with their body they don't want to do. we're not disagreeing on particulars here so there's nothing to parse, we're disagreeing fundamentally.

right but this is a very very old disagreement and I'm perplexed by people thinking there is some sort of "owning" happening with the use of that phrase.

Anything you force someone to do you are forcing them to do with their body. 'you don't have a right to force someone to do something with their body' is not a basic ethical position, its the denial of the possibility of ethical duty.

There is a widely recognized right to personal autonomy, but no serious person thinks it can't be overridden or that it extends to any use of state force on your person. These rights have boundaries and the reasonable discussion is about where they are.
