Bodily Autonomy in the Face of Power Dynamics

The concept of bodily autonomy is essential as it represents the essence of humanity. In cases such as abortion, the denial of bodily autonomy is a form of control that overrides individual choice and freedom. This control mechanism is a manifestation of power dynamics, where traditional sovereign power has evolved into a systemic and scientifically-backed approach to shape individuals for societal norms and productivity, thus limiting their autonomy and freedom.
