Are you really that incapable of figuring out context? I meant before I left my house. If the question seems silly to you, read it back and ask yourself if perhaps you're interpreting it wrong.

You're really not making a good case for medical privacy here.
If your response is to argue that asking a woman if she's on the pill before sex is an invasion of medical privacy, I'd say it's you making a poor case.

I think you're better off sticking to the main libertarian argument that it's your body and you shouldn't be penalised for making a non-conforming decision about it.
This is indeed a relevant point, but privacy is very much important. If you're about to engage in sex with someone, you're already in a position where privacy is being compromised. Ensuring that an unwanted pregnancy does not occur is responsible behaviour, as you well know.

The counter to that obviously is that some of your medical choices affect other people
Lots of private medical matters potentially affect other people. Ok the AIDS one is a little tenuous, but flu is potentially dangerous, is it ok for me to ask if you've had the flu jab? Maybe that doesn't bother you, but what if I demand proof before allowing you into my shop? You might just go "fuck you I'll take my business elsewhere" but naturally that response is because it offends you.
