one might say that broad and ever expanding restrictions on liberty are necessary when the state claims the right to revoke the bodily autonomy of those within its domain

Forced birth was an integral part of slavery. It's not talked about enough but the underlying motivation is clear & hasn't gone away. Money/power are motivations that can result in horrible inhumanity when "the end justifies the means" is the excuse.

Yep. That's one thing that the federal union does, it forces states that want to do this stuff into ever more grotesque measures

these are people who 'begot' children off their slaves and sold them. They sold their own children. (among other abuses.) it's not called White Patriarchy for nothing. They're not pro-life, they're pro-slavery.

Sorry to go full anarchist but isn’t “the right to revoke the bodily autonomy of those within its domain” the literal definition of state sovereignty?
