I think I don't get it. What does Your body - your choice refer to?
Is this like blablabla i don't care about queer people, do what you want but don't come near me or what am I missing here?

"Your body - your choice" refers to the basic human right that you're your own master and no one else can own/control you.

It's especially used in the discussion about whether abortion should be legal or not, where it refers to the fact that the fetus in a pregnant person is indeed part of that person, and they are allowed to do what they want with their own body (e.g. abortion).

The post mentions the opposite, "your body, our choice" which refers to the anti-abortion movement where people, often due to religious reasons, think they should have control over a pregnant person's body, rather than the pregnant person themself.

Pretty sure it has nothing to do with a “pregnant person” and is just a straight-up open rape threat.
