Justice Amy Coney Barrett connected the right to abortion and the right against mandatory vaccines.

This is interesting — challenging — because most people who believe in at least one of those rights believe in only one. Or so I assume. Is there entitlement to bodily autonomy or not?

Justice Barrett only made a passing reference linking these 2 purported rights. A ban on abortion after 15 weeks is "is, without question, an infringement on bodily autonomy," she said, then added that we have that "in other contexts, like vaccines." Clearly she meant mandatory vaccines.

Here's the whole context, from the transcript of yesterday's oral argument. Barrett — questioning Julie Rikelman, the lawyer for the respondent, the Jackson Women's Health Organization — brings up how easy it is these days to give up a newborn baby for adoption. Legally easy. So maybe Court shouldn't put much if any weight on the burdens of forced parenting. If the analysis is limited to the burdens of pregnancy and childbirth, Barrett says, "it focuses the burden much more narrowly. There is, without question, an infringement on bodily autonomy, you know, which we have in other contexts, like vaccines."

Rikelman does not accept the invitation to focus the burden much more narrowly. Barrett's next question comes in a form that I like, restating very clearly what you think your interlocutor just said and asking if that's accurate. But I don't think Barrett's paraphrase is accurate:

But, as I hear this answer then, are you saying that the right as you conceive of it is grounded primarily in the bearing of the child, in the carrying of a pregnancy, and not so much looking forward into the consequences on professional opportunities and work life and economic burdens?

Barrett heard wrong, Rikelman quickly responds:

No, Your Honor, I believe it's both, and -- and that is exactly how Casey talked about it. It talked about the two strands of cases that supported the right. One was the strand of cases supporting bodily integrity.... and the second was the strand of cases supporting decisional autonomy and specifically decisions related to childbearing, marriage, and procreation....

So, there are 2 lines of cases, and Rikelman, asked to abandon one, refuses. But let's examine Barrett's idea and how it relates to mandatory vaccines. If you could exclude one line of cases because of the ease of giving up your baby for adoption, then what would be left is bodily autonomy. Perhaps the idea is that if the bodily autonomy ground for the abortion right is rejected, it will be difficult to identify a right against forced vaccination. To state that in reverse, if the abortion right survives and is based on the bodily autonomy ground, it will fortify the foundation for a right against forced vaccination.
