In the wake of a leaked draft decision from the U.S. Supreme Court that would overturn Roe v. Wade, its 1973 ruling that made abortion legal across America, a TikTok user said in a now-viral video that "hookup culture" would be destroyed if abortion is no longer federally protected. What are the details?
"In case you're a man who doesn't care about Roe v. Wade, just know that if abortion gets banned, hookup culture will be absolutely decimated," Bridget Gwyn wrote in text accompanying her Monday night TikTok video, according to the Daily Dot.
"Hookup culture" is a synonym for casual sex and one-night stands, the outlet said.
“What woman would have mediocre s*x with a drunk rando if he could potentially father their child,” she added in the clip — which as of Tuesday afternoon boasted over 930,000 views.
Gwyn added in the caption that she's addressing "all the pro-life men who love Plan B," also known as the "morning-after pill" that helps prevent pregnancies after sex.
How are folks reacting?
Some commenters on Gwyn’s clip said a SCOTUS abortion strike down would prod them toward a second look at their sexual practices, the Daily Dot said:
"I’m entering my celibacy era,” one commenter said, according to the outlet.
“Deleting all dating apps as we speak,” another user added, the Daily Dot said.
“I already told my sneaky link, no more meet ups cause of fears of pregnancy,” another commenter shared, according to the outlet.
Others lamented other potential outcomes if abortion goes down:
“I’m scared that [sexual assault] numbers are going to rise bc we know how well ‘no’ can be tolerated,” one commenter wrote, the Daily Dot said.
“Pregnancy rates are going to drop while death rates are going to rise,” another user commented, according to the outlet.
Another commenter said "abstinence is key" will be pushed, "which leads to lack of church/state separation," the Daily Dot reported.
“They’re gonna come for Plan B next,” another user noted, according to the outlet.
I would definitely swipe left on this one 😜
They’ll have to settle for goats.
Well, they’re the “porn generation”. All pop culture they’re surrounded with has the same message - casual sex is great! STD’s can be treated/cured and at worst you can “just” have an abortion.
All this garbage are 1st world troubles. Imagine how things would change if things fell apart.
Boy, LibsOfTikTok must be soooooo busy nowadays.
I’m extremely jealous of older generations who had their pick of respectable women to date and marry, while i had to wade through single moms, total sluts, liberals, and other assorted degenerates.
She could get fixed too
Hey Bridget,
Not even with his d***, honey.
Many of the larger states will loosen their restrictions out of spite.
I married a lady from a small town and her family was strict Catholics. Worked out well after 32 years.
Bet there will also be a great drop in the VD clinic customers.
Every person I have known who picked up a skank in a bar has come down with Clap or crab lice.
“hookup culture will be absolutely decimated”
Reduced by ten percent? I’ll bet she is bad at math and doesn’t know what the word means.
Walgreens is already trying to ration out Plan B type pills.
Does the word “contraception “ have too many syllables for this trollop to know what it means?
Abstinence is a pipe dream when it comes to people without the merest self-control.
Casual sex has degraded American society tremendously.
Marriage has been lowered to the status of just having a roommate.
What is special about sex in marriage when you have been serially promiscuous?
What IS sacred in marriage?
Vlad the Vacesctomized will be a popular fellow on all the dating apps! LOL!
Ever heard of birth control lady? There are lots of effective cheap options and guess what there are no restrictions in obtaining them. You would also think that if you are doing random hookups with virtual strangers you would want use a condom just for protection from STDs.
Just as an FYI, the Plan B pill—if taken correctly, is not an abortion pill. It’s a pill that prevents contraception. In fact, at my wife’s Catholic hospital they will do a pregnancy test on rape victims and if the test is negative they will give them Plan B.
No one is getting rid of Plan B.
Well said. This is the not only the prevailing message of our mass media, it seems to be the only one.
And they’re being exposed to porn at very early ages, especially the boys.
“Most statistics on pornography use say the average age of a child’s first exposure to pornography is 11 years old. New research from the security technology company Bitdefender, has reported children under the age of 10 now account for 22% of online porn consumption under 18 -years old. Particularly alarming is that the site most visited by children under 10 include porn mega sites like Pornhub. The under 10 age group is now accounting for one in 10 visitors to porn video sites, per Bitdefender.”
“NPCC ChildLine recently released a report that found a tenth of 12 to 13-year-olds fear they may actually be addicted to pornography. 10% of children in the 7th grade have stated that they are watching enough porn to be concerned that they may have an addiction issue and not be able to stop. Many experts believe this is due to two primary issues: mobile accessibility and desensitization at an earlier age. “Young people are turning to the internet to learn about sex and relationships. We know they are frequently stumbling across porn, often unintentionally, and they are telling us very clearly that this is having a damaging and upsetting effect on them” said Dame Esther Rantzen, founder of ChildLine.”

Sad state of teenage “sex life” in the UK:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9669443/Heartbreaking-reality-teenage-girls-sex-life.html
No surprise there’s this explosive fad among pubescent girls to label themselves “trans” or “nonbinary” — not only is it trendy and cool and all, it allows them to opt out of the toxic and frightening teen sex scene, declare themselves “off limits” so to speak.
If you do not want a baby, you have choices. You can take a morning after pill, you can use protection, or you can abstain from having intercourse. Doesn’t really get more simple than that.
Let’s say all’s even. Birth control facilitated hooking up. Outlawing abortion put some of that old fear back into you.
