I don't respect your decision to focus on tone policing people who are advocating for human rights. No doubt some people are speaking in more absolutist terms than would be ideal in a polite discussion of hypotheticals, but there's context you seem to either be ignoring or consciously avoiding.The problem is that none of this is as stark as you're making it out to be. For one thing, what constitutes a human right? Would you say that internet access is a human right? If so, does that mean that your ISP is violating your human rights if they charge you for access and cut you off if you don't pay? If you don't think it's a human right, then you're going to need to tell that to the people who think that it is, and suddenly the question of what is or is not a human right is no longer simply presumed.
Moreover, "anything less than full bodily autonomy" includes things like people voluntarily selling their own organs on the black market, which I'm going to guess you don't support. And that's without getting into thornier areas like prostitution, drug usage, or suicide, which are also issues of people doing what they want with their own bodies. So again, an unnuanced line about "full bodily autonomy" has a critical lack of necessary distinctions.
Finally, the two summaries that you provide in your last paragraph aren't accurate representations of the private company mentioned in the OP, which hasn't issued a statement with regard to the recent legal decision. It's that sort of escalation of rhetoric that prevents cooler heads from prevailing, and inhibits an exchange of ideas which can lead to things being worked out, rather than people digging their heels in and refusing to budge.
People would not be incensed and outraged to the point of making these perhaps too-broad claims if they were not witnessing their rights being stripped by a political minority that has sided with a would-be autocrat in a coup attempt.
We've spoken calmly for decades about why we hold our beliefs. The hope was that those who disagreed would respect us, learn from us, and change their minds. They have not. Instead they have persisted in consolidating anti-democratic power to force undesired oppression on hundreds of millions of people.
So I am okay with people being angry. Indeed, it would hearten new to see a bit of anger on your part as well, rather than you trying to pretend that it is still reasonable to expect polite discourse to get the tyrants to stop.
