Opinion: A right to life, but not to die — it’s not just women’s bodies MAGA wants to control

Donald Trump’s surprisingly decisive electoral victory was a serious blow to those who value freedom and human dignity.

His version of freedom does not include respecting the choices that individuals make about their own bodies.

And if that wasn’t enough, Trump targeted transgender Americans and mocked gender-affirming medical care.
