But there is perhaps another issue going on here. Men are among the loudest critics of mask and vaccine mandates. In spring 2020,that according to polling, men were less likely than women, by an 11-point margin, to have worn a mask outside their home. One of the most striking sets of news stories over the past several weeks has been that of prominent anti-vaccine advocates getting sick and suddenly waking up to the reality that Covid-19 is real and that vaccines save lives.
— and vaccinated people overwhelmingly not getting sick — would be enough to convince them. But maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that the same people who refuse to mask up to protect others would not take Covid-19 seriously until it affects them directly. It is as if opposition to abortion rights is driven by those who view the unborn in abstract terms and child-rearing as a problem for others to master.
This is not to say many opponents of abortion are not genuine in their moral and ethical opposition. The same, I suppose, can be said for those who oppose vaccine and mask mandates. But living in a society requires putting ourselves in the shoes of others — and even sacrificing some of our individual freedom for a larger and greater good.
Upholding a woman’s right to choose is about recognizing that even one’s personal opposition to abortion cannot supersede the judgment of a woman to know what’s best for her and her unborn child. It’s great that Republican officeholders and media personalities are recognizing the value of bodily autonomy. If only they would do empathy next.
