Analyzed some instances of bodily autonomy removal; the results revealed an interesting pattern

Someone shared with me a few articles that highlighted instances of bodily autonomy removal. The first one was of a mandatory breastfeeding law in the United Arab Emirates. It claims it is decreed by Islam to be a right for children to breastfeed and makes it mandatory that all mothers breastfeed. Husbands can even file charges against her if she doesnt.

The second one is of an underage girl in Canada who was forced to receive a blood transfusion against her will. Minors cant consent. And this procedure was done as a benefit to her and her well being (unlike forced birth, which is done for the benefit of another at the detriment of that person.)
