You mean like favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom?

I can do this all day, my guy. Making abortion illegal is authoritarian and fascist. It’s why Germany finally scrubbed one of the last remaining laws put into place by THE LITERAL NAZI PARTY about abortion access just last year. You’re wrong and your opinions are shit.

I'm sure you can not understand words all day. You seem to get a lot of practice.

Strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government

This doesn't mean whatever you want it to mean. By your notion, any laws are inherently fascist.

A law that dictates across the board what an entire chromosomal group can do with their own bodies, effectively disregarding autonomy isn’t authoritarian to you?

You’re either fucking dumb or malicious. I’m not sure which is worse.

All laws dictate in broad swaths. That's what fucking laws are.

"Authoritarian" has an actual meaning.

Authoritarianism is characterized by highly concentrated and centralized government power maintained by political repression and the exclusion of potential or supposed challengers by armed force.

Again, by your stance, laws against indentured servitude are also "fascist"
