Banning abortion is not inherently authoritarian. If the argument comes from the idea of it being murder, it is absolutely not authoritarian to prevent murder.
You and I might disagree with that, but “authoritarian” really does mean something. It’s not any time someone tries to control you.
As a person with extreme problems with authority and who is extremely pro abortion, it is very draining to keep explaining this.
Yes it is, because it requires violating the rights of others to achieve. It inherently denies rights, freedoms and choices, and unironically is the only actual murder happening. Abortion bans kill both children and adults. Its self-proclaimed ethical basis is irrelevant; plenty of acts are inherently authoritarian despite being based on some moral principle or another. Revolutions are inherently authoritarian acts, for example. So is opposing abortion.

“Revolutions are inherently authoritarian” is not a take I thought I’d ever read lol
