> one is about helping society fight a disease/caring about others, the other is about taking away your own freedom to have or NOT to have a baby coming from an unwanted and violent action, because of ideology (religion, etc.).

Yes, they are about very different things, with the only common thread being if your own bodily autonomy trumps another's. Does your bodily autonomy trump that of an unborn childs bodily autonomy? Does you bodily autonomy trump that of some random person on the street.

> You can't compare the two at all.

Sure you can, I just did.

> You could claim that wearing a mask is about an ideology too: the one about making the society survive at all costs.

You could, but that would do nothing to counter the argument of bodily autonomy being a sacred right. So it would be a very poor argument if you did and wouldnt address the assertions at all.

> Fair enough. I think that's what the State should protect, though.

You are of course welcome to your opinion. So I certainly have no problem with you thinking whatever you like even if you are wrong.
