Jackson Women\u00b4s Health), <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/news-and-politics\/2021\/12\/amy-coney-barrett-abortion-adoption-comments.html\">Justice Amy Coney Barrett tried out that line of argument<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere is without question an infringement on bodily autonomy, for which we have another context like vaccines\u201d. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The claim is a simple one: if the main argument for abortion rights is women\u00b4s bodily autonomy, then vaccine mandates have shown how to trump that argument; and if after the pandemic bodily autonomy is no longer untouchable, then we can take down abortion (and more), which they did.<\/p>\n<p>The question is not just the historical proximity \u2013 or even possible causal link \u2013 between the COVID-19 pandemic and SCOTUS\u00b4s decision on abortion, but also whether there is any philosophical merit to Coney Barrett\u00b4s juxtaposition, which turns the table on progressives: how could they contemplate \u2013 and in many cases endorse \u2013 vaccine mandates but not accept other limits to bodily autonomy?<\/p>\n<p>Surely, the mere normative possibility of vaccine mandates shows \u2013 so Coney Barrett\u00b4s juxtaposition \u2013 that bodily autonomy never was (or no longer is) an absolute within liberal democracy, which in turn suggests that liberals will have to re-contest issues like abortion.<\/p>\n<p>The following logical possibilities suggest themselves in relation to Coney Barrett\u00b4s juxtaposition:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Reject vaccine mandates, bodily autonomy is indeed absolute (non-consequentialism);<\/li>\n<li>Reject bodily autonomy as a premise for abortion rights. Two routes here:\n<ul>\n<li>going back to the abortion debate pre-Thomson, rejecting personhood; or<\/li>\n<li>a radical feminist view where abortion rights neither depend on bodily autonomy nor on rejecting personhood;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Distinguish between the way in which vaccines and pregnancy challenge bodily autonomy;<\/li>\n<li>Re-negotiate abortion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Historically, SCOTUS picked (4), arguably the least plausible option. And it is relatively easy to argue that (4) doesn\u2019t follow from Coney Barrett\u2019s juxtaposition: all we need to do is argue that 1-3 cannot be ruled out, which is what we turn to now.<\/p>\n<p>Option 2 calls for the following distinction: bodily autonomy might be sufficient for abortion rights, but is it also necessary? The sufficiency claim is what Judith Jarvis Thomson famously argued for in the \u201870s, that the question of personhood was irrelevant to abortion rights\u2026 but was it a mistake to grant the metaphysics to pro-lifers?<\/p>\n<p>On the necessity claim, radical feminists would argue that, given overwhelming patriarchal oppression, there are not only social and political but also ethical reasons why we don\u2019t even need bodily autonomy to justify abortion rights. And while those reasons might for some prove too much (as they are likely generalizable to voluntary reproduction as well), climate change should have taught us to be radical. Still, in order to reject (2) altogether, it\u2019s not enough to argue that bodily autonomy is only sufficient but not also necessary for abortion rights.<\/p>\n<p>Option 3 is ironic, because we can sure try to create normative room between pregnancy\u2019s autonomy infringements and vaccines\u2019 autonomy infringements, but those differences are unlikely to result in (unwelcomed) vaccines being a more fundamental infringement than (unwelcomed) foetuses. Still, a supporter of Coney Barrett\u2019s juxtaposition might insist that it\u2019s quality over quantity when it comes to bodily autonomy and that going consequentialist about it is just begging the question against conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>This leaves us with option 1, and the historical if not philosophical reckoning with whether the pandemic was actually worth even moderate compromises on bodily autonomy. That\u2019s where we might have to recognise that the philosophy of history (or was it Marxism?) has gone out of fashion before it had finished doing its work: reminding us that we should not lose sight of material and historical conditions, especially when philosophical questions are less than obvious.<\/p>\n<p>Here the hypothesis would be that Coney Barrett\u2019s juxtaposition does not need to be philosophically plausible in order to successfully do its work. Given certain economic conditions (which in turn result in a conservative Court), it is enough that Coney Barrett\u2019s juxtaposition is not <em>obviously<\/em> wrong for it to gain political traction and ultimately succeed in its aim of undermining women\u2019s sexual and reproductive rights.<\/p>\n<p>I believe the Greeks had a name for this kind of philosophical borderland: sophistry. Three quick objections and then we are done:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>many progressives might here argue that even if one buys the sophistry charge against conservatives, the left is still to blame for having materially enabled sophistry to succeed, in having endorsed an economic system that resulted in SCOTUS\u2019s conservative supermajority;<\/li>\n<li>that was a purely political objection, but on a more philosophical level one might also object that a further mistake, on the left, has been to forget that <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-ethics\/2022\/06\/16\/are-we-still-allowed-to-teach-abortion\/\">big normative questions can never be put away for good<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-ethics\/2022\/10\/06\/teaching-abortion\/\">will always be up for renegotiation<\/a>;<\/li>\n<li>finally, it might also be objected that the mistake was upstream: the abortion debate should have never moved on from denying personhood, and that\u2019s the weakness that has enabled the current pro-life comeback (thanks to Anne Lykkeskov for this suggestion).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Did the Greeks also have a name for sophistry enablers? Because that\u2019s us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author<\/strong>: Ezio Di Nucci<\/p>\n<p><strong>Affiliation<\/strong>: University of Copenhagen<\/p>\n<p><strong>Competing interests<\/strong>: none<!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ezio Di Nucci.
