My wife points out those who claim that the state has no right to tell one what to do with one's body (vaccines for example) are mostly the same people who say the state has a right to tell a woman what to do with her body in a much more imposing way (carry a pregnancy to term). I recognize the claim that a fetus is a individual as a justification, but the Texas law forbidding abortion after six weeks is on sketchy scientific grounds, as the fetus is unable to survive outside the womb at six weeks. Adding to that is that same group believes it is appropriate for the state to largely abandon the child once born because the child is an individual's responsibility.
Refusing to be vaccinated also involves harming others, and perhaps many more people that a single fetus. Pro-life individuals have shot people at abortion clinics as murderers. How do would they justify their endangering others perhaps fatally by not participating in public health actions?
