The Bodily Freedom Manifesto

The single most important freedom we have is our freedom to completely own our bodies - we are entitled to our bodies and we are entitled to make decisions about how our bodies interact with the world. Of course, we must respect the bodily freedom of others, but our own bodily freedom should be just that - our own.Should be.Here in the U.S., that's not the way it is. Every day we are told what we can and cannot do with our own bodies, from drugs to sex to reproduction, we have acquiesced to being told how we may treat our bodies - and how we may not.To be viewed as a criminal in the eyes of the law if we do certain things to our own body, is to say that the law is what controls our bodies. We don't all agree on what each of our bodies should or should not be exposed to; that's okay. We have all been given equal opportunity to control a human body - our own. And that's as far as that opportunity should extend.In this book, I advocate the full legalization of all drugs, prostitution, and abortion. But more than any of the information gathered from the mountain of research supporting the legalization of these rights, this book is here to tell you one simple fact: if someone else is in control of what you can or cannot do with your own body, You. Are. A. Slave.As Americans, it is our duty to educate ourselves about the restrictions of freedom currently enforced by our government and demand change. I want to be free and so here I am demanding that freedom. With this book, and hopefully others, arm yourself with knowledge and defend your body - the only thing that we have ever been given truly for free - and demand that it remain, to you and only you, truly free.
