The legal and narrative connection between Covid-authoritarians in government and civil society using private actors and civil court judges to circumvent Constitutional limitations on violating bodily integrity in the two contexts - abortion and masks/lockdowns/injections — makes a lot of sense.

But I’ve had a number of conversations with people who have already identified it as a hypocrisy issue: those who believe that bodily integrity should not be violated with masks and inoculations (“my body my choice”) should also believe that it shouldn’t be violated with abortion restrictions.

From that legal and narrative linkage, if the Texas law stands, and spreads, and successfully superimposes the private actor civil enforcement of abortion restrictions, then it also solidifies the private actor/employer/business-owner Covid intrusion on bodily integrity of masking and injections and any other medical intervention the government and its private sector enforcers choose to impose now and in the future.

I can see how that’s a win for pro-lifers currently seeking to protect the lives of the unborn.

I can’t see how that’s anything but a loss for those who want to protect their own lives and their children from harmful and increasingly deadly government-issued medical prescriptions and want to protect the liberties of all other individuals to make those medical decisions for themselves and their children without government or private sector interference.

If the idea is to somehow later try to make a distinction between types of medical decisions subject to private/civil litigation oversight, and make abortion in the “yes” category and masking and injections in the “no” category, I don’t see how that works.

Further, it opens a door to a future piece of legislation in which an ideologically-opposite Texas or other legislature could grant future private citizens the right to file civil suits to force women to submit to abortions, if that future majority wants to eliminate rather than protect babies.

Dr Peter McCullough says these Experimental Gene Therapy injections are killing people and they must be pulled off the market immediately.
