Definitely! This is one of our (Rho and I) favorite rallying cries.

I believe this has already been in the courts. I can't locate the specifics on google, but IIRC, a woman (of sound mind) was ordered to be sterilized using Depo-Provera. It was overturned on appeal, as one's reproductive rights cannot be taken away...I believe it had to do with "the pursuit of happiness." Wish I could find it.
