Essay: "Men could eliminate abortions in 3 months or less without ever touching an abortion law"

This oversimplification is infuriating. It completely ignores all other motivations for abortion. How will pulling out cure massive birth defects or fetal demise? Or prevent women from dying from things like preeclampsia? This sort of advice just perpetuates the idiotic Conservative notion that abortions are just birth control.

Nevermind the “use a condom” advice does nothing when condoms fail.

The author should also be aware that the medical & insurance industries make it hard for adults who want to be sterilized to get it. Doctors don’t like to do a permanent sterilization on someone who is young and who has no kids. Some doctors refuse to do it outright. Some insurance companies wont cover an “elective” procedure.

Let’s face it: abortion foes aren’t really worried about saving children. They are the same people who block access to contraception, block accessibility to medical care, and de-fund programs like WIC and food stamps.a better label for them would be “anti-womens-autonomy”. How dare women decide for themselves?!
