I never said these people don't exist at all. I said I've never met one. So I guess I'm saying they're definitely a tiny minority.

And again: employer mandates still mean it's optional. Absolutely optional. It's optional because it's not forced.

You know what baffles me the most about this, though? That you're so hell bent on defending another random poster, who still hasn't even taken the time to clarify his own post or even respond to me. How can you be so sure that's what he meant?

Sorry Im taking so long to reply (had a rough couple of days including getting to play veterinary ambulance twice and getting my car fixed but whoops-not-really). Only now getting to look over the responses.

He's got the right general idea though - there were lots of folks calling for government COVID vaccine mandates (but were not successful in actually getting them) and most of those calling for it were also decidedly pro-choice because of bodily autonomy.

There aren't a whole lot of controversial cases for bodily autonomy outside abortion, but we did have one big obvious one that's not that old...
