    There is also a fundamental misunderstanding of Roe vs. Wade in this question.

    Roe vs Wade did NOT establish a woman’s bodily autonomy. Roe vs. Wade established that women had a right to an abortion because their existing right to PRIVACY allowed them to consult and make medical decisions without government intervention.

    Yes, that is an exceedingly weak and cowardly ruling, and followers of the court warned people for DECADES that it was a weak ruling, and it made it precarious since the beginning.

    But that’s also your explanation for why it wouldn’t cover prostitution. Commerce is not covered by the right to privacy.
