58. When the government banned silicone implants.
It did not make them illegal for women to have, it made it illegal for manufacturers to produce and sell because of potential harm it causes. That's what the government is supposed to do. It didn't make it a crime to have the implants. Women weren't forced to go and have them removed. The decision to ban silicone implants did not change any of my fundamental rights as a woman. That analogy simply does not work.
