Yes it was, and not just because you yourself often require others to state ‘the obvious’. However, there are a couple of far more serious points to be made. Firstly, if abortion is outlawed then women who miscarry are at risk of being prosecuted on the basis of mere suspicion. This Inevitably gives rise to an increased likelihood of women who do miscarry failing to seek the medical attention they need. Secondly, there are multiple ‘non viable’ pregnancies for which abortion is the only means of avoiding death or serious injury to the pregnant woman. Not stating the obvious negates consideration of these very real risks.

Actually there is. The PM may call an election whenever he chooses. Calling an early election might be an option to bring rebel Tory MPs into line. It might also be a tactical choice given the consensus amongst economic analysts that inflation and other economic woes are only going to get worse. An early election might be a better option for Johnson if he believes he’ll maintain power, albeit with a reduced majority versus losing power if he runs to full term. Johnson will decide on the basis of what’s best for Johnson, he has no other consideration.

Again this is not a sensible argument wrt to giving a man a say in a woman’s choice to have an abortion. You also seem not to understand what ‘bodily autonomy’ means. Giving a man any say what so ever over the choices a woman makes with her own body strips her of ‘bodily autonomy’. Arguing for men to be allowed to do so reveals the glaring subtext of this SCOTUS ruling, controlling women’s bodies. It is not possible to dictate to women what they can and cannot do with there own bodies without stripping them of the freedom men take for granted, they immediately become ‘controlled’, no longer fully in possession of their own bodies.
