One woman getting an abortion doesn't cause anyone else to abort. One person not getting a vaccine could kill many others.
???? That's not what that quote was talking about? It's fair to disagree with it but actually disagree with it.
A fair argument.
Here's the thing - the Government already has the power. Want to send your kids to public school? Government mandated vaccine requirements. Want to join the military? Government mandated vaccine requirements. Want to work in the service industry? Government mandated vaccine requirements. Want to travel to another country and be allowed back in? Government mandated vaccine requirements. Want to work in law enforcement and other first responders? Government mandated vaccine requirements. Want to work in health care? Government mandated vaccine requirements.
Did you just substitute the rate of registered Republicans for the percentage of people for stricter abortion laws? I was going to answer your post with a nuanced comment about how the percentage of Americans is less important than the percentage of Mississippians, as repealing Roe v. Wade wouldn't directly make abortion laws stricter, just allow states to determine that themselves, but there's not really need to go that far if you're going to just use the wrong statistics.
I actually used the number cited in my local newspaper. And other numbers seem a bit higher but not by all that much.

Trans people weren't banned from the military though. People on prescriptive drugs or hormones can't which is just a further elaboration on already existing restrictions because in a combat scenario where someone could get injured and then need some kind of drug treatment, them being on preexisting drugs can mess that up and if they get cut off from something vital then they could become a burden to their allies.
" Under the new policy, which the Department of Defense has insisted is not a “ban,” currently serving transgender individuals who have already received a diagnosis of gender dysphoria may continue to serve in their preferred gender, receive hormone treatments and undergo gender-affirming surgery. But after Friday, anyone with gender dysphoria who is taking hormones or has already undergone a gender transition will not be allowed to enlist. Further, any currently serving troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria after this date will have to serve in their sex as assigned at birth and will be barred from taking hormones or getting gender-affirming surgery. "
I thought one only needed to present as a chosen gender that is not their biological sex to be considered trans? And it's not bullshit, wtf do you think the point of the military is? You think some squad of troops cut off from their supply line is going to be able to ask whoever they're fighting to kindly let them get hormones for their transitioned squadmate???"

Trump's controversial transgender military policy goes into effect
“The policy is insidious in operation but designed to be as comprehensive a ban as possible,” the nonpartisan Palm Center, which studies LGBTQ military issues, stated.www.nbcnews.com
So, I guess its not a ban as long as a trans person doesn't do any trans shit while in the military. Its bullshit and it always was bullshit, we already did studies on how trans military personal would effect military readiness and found there was minimal impact.
Sounds like you would also make that argument against women in the military. You are just making old arguments that don't hold water.
This never happened, not once, did it? But you know what did happen? Acting, trained servicemen and women were kicked out of the military, wasting available personnel and letting thousands of hours of invested training time and resources go to waste.
A necessary sacrifice to those who see the military as a reflection of their machismo. You don't need mission readiness; just manly men with big guns.
Except that is true, isn't it? Criminalising abortion demonstrably drives desperate people (primarily the poor, who cannot afford to travel long distances) to turn to illegal practices. The stats bear that out.
