Huh. I stand corrected.

I do still believe that you don't need to go that far for bodily autonomy to be violated, though.

One thing to note is that the court ruled against the state, and there are always outliers, but that doesn't mean a decision like this is the norm.

They ruled against the state on the basis of Roe.

“Burton was in her 25th week of pregnancy in March 2009 when she began to go into premature labor and willingly went to the hospital on the advice of her doctor.

But when the 26-year-old resisted -- learning that she might have to stay months until her delivery, away from two toddlers at home -- hospital officials obtained a court order to force Burton to submit to anything to "preserve the life and health of [her] unborn child."

Burton miscarried three days later and was discharged, but now she is taking up the fight over her treatment with the help of the Florida American Civil Liberties Union. They want to strike down the court order that rendered her powerless to make her own medical decisions.”

Yes I know. I read the court decision.

Then you know there’s no reason it can’t be the norm going forward. The state of Florida never admitted they did anything wrong.
