Waaaa! Twump shthowe our shwogan!
The excellent blogger at For What It’s Worth reports wailing and gnashing of the teeth at National Public Radio over the loss of the classic feminist marching cry, “My body, My Choice.” Apparently it was appropriated (a leftie euphemism for “stealing,” but only when they’re doing it) by protestors opposed to mandatory vaccination, most of whom happen to be Trump supporters.
The delicious irony of this is when the COVID vaccines were first introduced in 2020, when Trump was still president, the left was generally opposed to taking them–because Trump, of course. Later, when Sleepy Joe assumed office, the left changed its mind about vaccines when realizing they could be politicized by making them mandatory. As the saying goes, attributed to many, “liberals don’t care what you do as long as it’s compulsory.”
Meanwhile, “My Body, My Choice,” lying fallow at the time, was taken up by opponents of mandatory vaccination, an action apparently only discovered, and to their dismay, by militant feminists during the current brouhaha over the Supreme Court’s cashiering of Roe v. Wade.
So now, if you please, it’s “Reproductive Justice,” which does the job we suppose, but doesn’t quite trip off the tongue like “My Body My Choice,” does it? Too bad, infanticidists, you should have copyrighted it.

Great post!
