Pregnancy not the same as COVID-19

In her letter comparing the Texas abortion bill to masks and vaccines (Sept. 8, “My body, my choice everywhere”), Rebecca York appears to be willfully ignorant. Whether or not she decides to carry a pregnancy to term, it happens completely inside her body. She’s not going to breathe on me and make me pregnant.

With masks, for the millionth time, they are there to protect me from you. (Your right to swing your fist ends at my nose.)

As for vaccines, not getting one is just stupid. No one is forcing you to get one, we’re just saying we don’t want you around us (fist-nose thing) if you choose not to take it.
