Please amend the United States Constitution to fully specify a right to bodily autonomy.

The Issue

Do you think that this would make a good amendment? “The right to self-bodily autonomy shall not be infringed.” 

Suggested changes welcome. Please sign if you support the general idea of letting people govern their own bodies. Though many people such as myself believed this basic concept to be a determiner of what "liberty" and "freedom" must be, it seems that a specific inclusion of it as a precept must be added for it to be respected by the judicial system. This language guarantees women of rights over governance of their bodies at any stage of their lives, and rights of doctors to choose together with them how they would be treated medically, as well as men.

Thank you.
