"My bodily autonomy is not up for debate."

IMG_2014

Today, at the Dane County Farmers Market, a very crowded place on a Saturday at 10:49 a.m.

It's seemingly a great place for attracting attention, but it's also a place where virtually everybody can and will avert their eyes.

Let's take a closer look at those breasts.

"Children should be wanted...not forced."

Don't worry hambeast, no one wants to have children with you.

SGT Ted म्हणाले...

Cool. Now do vaccine mandates.

JZ म्हणाले...

Topless woman?

Michael K म्हणाले...

Funny how the progs use that phrase for abortion but not for vaccination.

John henry म्हणाले...

So no mandatory vaccines or boosters?

Or is this just about some kinds of bodily autonomy?

"My bodily autonomy is not up for debate."

OK, fine. She (?) has bodily autonomy to display her breasts to all the world. But onlookers also have bodily autonomy that should not be destroyed by her action.

Meanwhile, if the other sign-holder does not want children, then don't make children. No one is forcing you to do or not do anything.

Men who died on the beaches at Normandy might want to debate that notion.

Bender म्हणाले...

Interesting that none of the guys are looking at the topless chick.

"... avert their eyes"

I would engage them. Peacefully, of course. Copies of the New Testament.

"My bodily autonomy isn't up for debate."

That's right. There is no debate. You have no "bodily autonomy."

No more so than any person who has been forced to have a Covid 19 "vaccine" which really isn't a vaccine and doesn't prevent you from getting Covid 19, as the President of the United States can testify to again today as it's reported he has Covid 19 for the second time, despite two so-called "vaccine" shots, a complete set of boosters and also taking the horse medicine that he's been taking called Paxlovid.

So you're right. There is no debate. You lost.

Bender म्हणाले...

This is the thing with the left - for all their talk about diversity and dividing people into groups, they reject pluralism. They refuse to accept that all freedom in a society is a shared freedom that runs up against others. That when one enters into society she or he must necessarily give up a measure of their natural freedom and rights.

A topless woman in public is not isolated in her nakedness. A pregnant woman is not isolated in her pregnancy.

The fact is that a pregnant woman and women in general, that is, non-pregnant women are two entirely different things. And the extent of their freedoms and rights vis-a-vis others are different.

A woman has a right not to be forcibly impregnated. But once pregnant, her body no longer has the same autonomy.

A quick Google search finds that most abortions these days are done via chemicals. Life is tenacious, so these chemicals are probably pretty harsh.

I would bet a paycheck that many passionate, pro-abortion types are vegetarians, vegans, and include those on gluten-free and GMO-free diets. They are probably swallowing many supplements and conform to an organic diet. Makes my head hurt trying to reconcile the two things: purist about food yet so very keen on swallowing chemicals to stop life!

Bender म्हणाले...

Person says she/he has the bodily autonomy to kill the human life growing in her/his womb.

Hypothetical --

Suppose someone puts an infant in a man's arms; better yet, he picks up the baby. Does he have the bodily autonomy to drop the infant out the window or into the river?

Suppose someone takes on a passenger in his car. Does the owner/driver have the freedom of choice to expel her from the car as it is moving down the highway?

Those chemicals are hormones that fools the pregnant body into thinking that it is not pregnant, thereby stimulating the woman's period and expelling the uterine contents.

Meanwhile, many of those same pro-abortion types supporting the "abortion pill" have railed against the unfairness toward women of having the birth control burden of taking powerful hormones in the Pill or implants.

Either way, these chemicals ravage a healthy body to make it dysfunctional and unhealthy.

Bender म्हणाले...

Speaking of bodily autonomy, it appears that Joe Biden's body never bothered to tell COVID that it has autonomy.

Biden tested positive AGAIN.

The more you take the jab, the more you take that paxlovid, the more your body opens up to the virus.

Looks like there was an overabundance of fruits.

I wish she had turned around for the camera so I could better appreciate her bodily autonomy.

Narr म्हणाले...

I wonder how people would react if I showed up with an old-fashioned "Show Us Your Tits" tee-shirt.

I also wonder how the young lady would react if I proceeded to take a lot of pix of her rack with my cell-phone.

“A quick Google search finds that most abortions these days are done via chemicals. Life is tenacious, so these chemicals are probably pretty harsh.“

That is a real game changer for planned parenthood. Hard to collect the spare parts to sell. Fewer Ferraris for the sales team.

From the picture it is nice to see a topless protester who appears worthy of toplessnessitude, if even from the back side.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

Let’s debate this proposition. That after a period in the womb and assuming no medical issues, society’s need to maintain population levels outweighs a woman’s right to terminate the pregnancy.

Sebastian म्हणाले...

"Children should be wanted"

They mean, no one should be so irresponsible as to conceive a child they don't want, correct?

madAsHell म्हणाले...

Isn't that statue racist??

Humperdink म्हणाले...

The Bald Eagle Protection Act provides criminal penalties for persons who "take, possess, sell, purchase, barter, offer to sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, at any time or any manner, any bald eagle ... [or any golden eagle], alive or dead, or any part, nest, or egg thereof.

It currently prohibits anyone, without a permit issued by the Secretary of the Interior, from "taking" bald eagles. Taking is described to include their parts, nests, or eggs, molesting or disturbing the birds.

An unborn baby is not afforded the same protection.

Andy म्हणाले...

The problem with bodily autonomy arguments is that while roe was in effect is that the proponents did nothing to expand the right beyond pregnant women who wanted to kill their babies. The if I get pulled over and refuse a breathalyzer wil NOW show to protest a blood draw? A right to bodily autonomy would need to be robust enough to apply to all kinds of people in all kinds of circumstances maybe even the child in the womb.

NorthOfTheOneOhOne म्हणाले...

She's doing it all wrong. There's bars in Milwaukee where she could earn good money showing off her boobs. Might have to dance a little... but, yeah!

You're never been to a Native American pow-wow.

Breasts were a big deal in the 4th grade. Now everyone averts their eyes. Is there any leftist cause that is still up for debate? Seems its just cancel, threaten, violence.

Milo Minderbinder म्हणाले...

This illogical chant runs out of gas when the fetus, particularly a female one, achieves viability (if not before).

So, taken your required vaccines yet? And can your autonomous body function sufficiently to find your way to the OTC birth control section at your local CVS?

i told them that, they said i had to register for the draft anyway
i told them that, they said i had to get vaccinated anyway
i told them that, they said i had to take experimental gene therapy "vaccines" anyway
i told them that, they said i had to provide DNA samples anyway
i told them that, they said i had to provide blood samples anyway

I'm surprised the movement for public female toplessness never got traction.

Saw a short crew-cut person carrying flowers and wearing sandals, black shorts and a black "I ❤ Abortion" t-shirt today.

It's a classic protest. Lady Godiva.

Assisted suicide.

And the whole basis of informed consent in medicine is based upon bodily autonomy.

chickelit म्हणाले...

I wonder how many minds she changed with her stunt? She probably just garnered some attention--of the wrong sort. I'm pretty sure the patriarchy found it titilating.

Paddy O म्हणाले...

"It's a classic protest. Lady Godiva."

Sure, but is all naked protesting Godivesque? With Lady Godiva, the protest is in the action, but you're not supposed to look!

That changes the whole tone of the picture to connect it with Lady Godiva.

Peeping Ann?

wildswan म्हणाले...

She wouldn't be able to stand half-naked in a crowd without the efforts of the police and on her own she wouldn't be able to maintain that right. She depends on others but when someone [an unborn child] depends on her she claims the right to annihilate that someone else's life rather than acknowledge any obligation. I've heard that the Army and the police are unable to get enough recruits - those who would formerly have joined are probably leaving the protection of this woman's regime up to this woman and her kind. Not that she'll acknowledge that obligation either.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

@paddy

Everyone is averting their eyes but there had to have been a moment when they saw since they had no warning. I had no warning and was just photographing the signs. Only afterwards did I walk around to the front and see. There were different words on the other side of the signs that I wanted to photograph. But I had to walk away. I actually think the idea was to get stares, to get attention. That backfired.

Second comment nailed it: "Let's take a closer look at those breasts."

Maybe she wanted a Clintonian gander.

That's Madison's problem, not ours, writ larger. Madison needs to revert to a pre-Soglin state in my humble opinion, speaking as a native.

effinayright म्हणाले...

My counter to all this defiant tit-display would be to mock them for every single defect and "ick factor" you can think of.

For example:

"They're already getting saggy. So, what's yer point."

Or

"Hairy nipples aren't attractive."

"I find banana boobs kinda funny!"

"When you lift them up, do roaches scurry out"?

In other words, deride them, and make the stupid "wymnyn" who think they're doing something "provocative" instead become ashamed---and cover themselves up.


The Genius Savant म्हणाले...

I think you have a different concept of "crowded" than most people. That doesn't look crowded to me at all.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

One thing to consider here is that there are many children that pass by this point, which is a very busy entrance to the square. This is a family activity. Maybe breasts are boring and ordinary to a small enough child, but there are all ages of kids passing by here and the view is imposed. I wonder if some children asked what the signs meant and if any of them heard abortion explained for the first time. What's that like?
