“For these women, the liberty of privacy means that they alone should choose whether they serve as human incubators for five months leading up to viability,” McBurney wrote. “It is not for a legislator, a judge, or a commander from Handmaid’s Tale to tell these women what to do with their bodies during this period when the fetus cannot survive outside the womb any more so than society could – or should – force them to serve as a human tissue bank or to give up a kidney for the benefit of another.”
McBurney added: “There is an uncomfortable & usually unspoken subtext of involuntary servitude swirling about this debate. It is generally men who promote & defend laws like the Life Act, the effect of which is to require only women – & , given the socio-economic & demographic evidence presented at trial, primarily poor women, i.e. in Georgia primarily black & brown women – to engage in compulsory labor, ie, the carrying of a pregnancy to term at the government’s behest.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/30/georgia-abortion-ban-overturned
