So if you want to abort the fetus, but the community decides the birth of it serves the needs of the community, it was a right to the use of you.
The community would have the right to make that call and attempt to enforce it. Bodily autonomy is not an inviolable defense against a decision by the community to violate it.
Whether that particular call would be morally correct is dubious.
So for example, if china wants to genocide all uygurs, you argue they should have the right to do it.
My argument there would be that genocide is wrong, not that every violation of bodily autonomy is wrong.
Answer the question:
According to you, should china have the right to genocide uyghurs?
Yes or no.
If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?
Answer the question:
According to you, should china have the right to genocide uyghurs?
Yes or no.
(Altough, the fact you can't answer the question is answer enough.)
I already answered the question. Would you be a Dogwood? Yes or no.
And your answer is yes, that you support the right of countries to genocide.
So china shoudln't have the right to genocide then?
When you're so enlightened, you can't even answer if states should have the right to genocide, maybe it's time to get off the "i'm-a-very-smart-internet-phisosopher" train 🤣
Yes, China doesn't have the right to commit genocide.
As a home owner (well, I'm not, because I'm a broke millennial, but let's pretend), I have the right to control who comes into my house. That doesn't mean I can deny the FBI knocking on my door with a warrant. Having the right to make decisions regarding something does not mean those decisions are inviolable, which is the whole point of disputing the idea of inviolable bodily autonomy.
The community having a right to violate bodily autonomy for the needs of the community does not equate to the community always being right in doing so. A community mandating vaccinations in violation of bodily autonomy is probably right. A community committing genocide is pretty universally wrong.
Congratulations, you managed to completely contradict yourself is just a few comments.
I don't know how much simpler I can make it, guy. You must be a Dogwood.
Never said it was.
But I did say the community shouldn't have a right to do anything, which you disagree with.
I'm a type that doesn't support the right to genocide. Probably not a lot of us where you fester.
