We no longer have equal protection under the law. Not with this DOJ, not with the Governors and AGs and DAs elected since wokeness infected law schools and progressive administrations, and the media that turns a blind eye to stories like these.
So the argument is that it’s “patriarchy” to oppose abortion. Let’s consider what caused that unwanted pregnancy. Let’s put aside the rare cases of rape and incest. A consensual, probably unprotected sex act caused that unwanted pregnancy. Wasn’t it allowing patriarchy to let that happen? The woman could have demanded a condom and said no if one wasn’t produced. Or the woman could have said no because she hadn’t provided for her own contraception. She would have disappointed the man, but so what? That’s his patriarchy problem. The truth is that women want to enjoy all the sex they want (fine, go for it), but without a thought to the consequences. Sorry, biology leaves you holding the bag, so to speak. And there are so many inexpensive ways to get protection. But as long as abortion on demand is available, the need to think about protection is less important. It’s women wanting their cake and eating it too. It’s women being irresponsible and being OK with a 15 week abortion that requires dismembering a fetus. I expect better from women.
My own edit—-actually it’s patriarchy to support abortion. Men can have all the sex they want and bear none of the consequences. Not even the cost of the abortion.
There has been a decoupling of the sex act from pregnancy. Women (and men) talk about a pregnancy as something that just happens spontaneously, like a tumor, that needs excision.
In all honesty, I am very frustrated with the woman in my life because this subject cannot be discussed without anger and resentment taking over what could be an intelligent discussion. In the back of my mind when ever I hear the “abortion” debate - I instantaneously go to the “sex act” question (setting aside rape) and shake my head in wonder and quietly ask myself, “now who’s fault is this?”
And the public discourse on the “sex act” aspects of this topic are zero, nada, silence, crickets. And that’s just wrong. It completely ignores the personal responsibility aspect of this to the danger of many.
That's thanks to the feminist movement suggesting that women want to engage in sex like men do. Generally speaking, they just don't. We aren't wired the same...thankfully. And of course, until June 24, they could "excise" that (great word NCMaureen), without a thought.
Tossing responsibility aside has done more harm to individuals and nations than any other character flaw.
There isn't a woman alive who could get pregnant all by herself, yet she's left to deal with the unwanted pregnancy on her own with all its implications to her health, finances, relationships etc. etc..
If men are taught when they reach pregnancy that they have the power within them to prevent ALL unwanted pregnancy by simply getting a reversible vasectomy - yes, it's now entirely possible to reverse this procedure - we must ask ourselves WHY are women even expected to put their bodies through hell just so a man can enjoy his few minutes of pleasure consequence free? Women have been taking responsibility of the vast majority of the birth control, with all the costs physical, financial etc. Are you aware that insurance companies can and do refuse to pay for birth control for HER, but happily cover Viagra for HIM? How is this fair???
So, PU-LEASE, do not talk to me about biology. My entire life as a woman involves intimate knowledge of biological processes - menstruation, pregnancy, post-partum, breastfeeding, menopause - as most women do. Sheesh! Apparently you're oblivious to the complexity of women's biology and simply do not care to contribute to a more balanced, reasonable, pain-free sexual experience for women. That's the point of the article.

Spot on. My sentiments exactly.

Tell that to Hershey Squirt.
Yes, the subject of abstaining from sex is seldom discussed in regards to the abortion issue. Thank you for speaking up.

Interesting. Thank you.

To quote Billy Crystal (City Slickers), “ women need a reason to have sex, men just need a place”
Interesting points... let’s castrate all these men who keep knocking up women and suffer no penalty. I bet that would solve EVERYTHING !
Using the left-wing way of thinking about the world, anyone can be getting the better end of anything, because truth is subjective.
True. https://humanparts.medium.com/men-cause-100-of-unwanted-pregnancies-eb0e8288a7e5
It takes 2 to tango. Or did you miss biology?
Rape, of course, is different
Did you even read the article? BTW, 30,000 women get pregnant from rape in the US yearly. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8765248/
