I was rewatching the TV show Superman & Lois. In that show, Clark and Lois have twin boys who are 16. Their son Jonathan Kent was taking an illegal super drug called “X-Kryptonite”, and Lois and Clark blew up at him. I wonder if they have this energy for abortion because I know damn well Clark and Lois are pro-choice.

So I hate how they violated Jon’s autonomy.

and this applies to real life too; “my body, my choice” should apply to drug use too.

    I’m curious, do you think parents should stop a two-year-old from swallowing LEGO blocks, which they could choke on? The two-year-old is making a choice that they want the LEGO block in their throat. However, they don’t understand that it can kill them.

    From the perspective of the parents of a teenager, it is their job to protect their child from dangers the child may not fully understand. I think the teenager can be reasoned with and it can be explained to them why they shouldn’t do drugs and then they can make an informed choice, but it is debatable how much a teenager can be trusted to make a responsible decision.
