NO MANDATES!!!
 

Here are just a few of the landmark Supreme Court rulings and cases that have established a constitutional right to “bodily integrity” — to maintain control over our bodies — in recent decades. You are allowed to buy and use contraceptives — Griswold v. Connecticut (1965). You are allowed to marry anyone regardless of race — Loving v. Virginia (1967). You are allowed to abort a fetus in the first trimester — Roe v. Wade (1973). You may not be subjected to experimental drugs or therapies without your consent, even if you are in the military — United States v. Stanley (1987). You are allowed to refuse medical treatment, including interventions that may save your life — Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health(1990). You are allowed to have intimate sexual relations with people of the same sex (Lawrence v. Texas, 2003) and to marry them (Obergefell v. Hodges, 2015).
