Arguably, legal abortion “benefits” men far more than it does women. It enables men to live a playboy lifestyle and avoid ever having to take responsibility for a child. Meanwhile, women pay the price both physically and mentally. Women who have to deal with premature birth or miscarriage of a child they decided to have alive, women who can end up unable to conceive, women who suddenly come face to face with the fact that they killed their own baby for trivial “reasons” when they come across any of the numerous guides to pregnancy that describe fetal development or have an ultrasound of a baby the same age as the one they killed.
Abortion is not and never was about women’s rights.
See my post above, the protections (albiet clumsy and often imperfect ones) built by society over centuries were swept away by modern society, leaving abortion as the only remedy to an unwanted pregnancy.
As a man, I find it extremely offensive to see them market abortion towards guys. I understand them marketing it towards women, because even with all the other historical cultural norms in place, she would bear the greater burden because history is full of men who would not accept responsibility even with all the weight of cultural reprobation behind it, so she was left holding the bag.
In this case, they are saying to men “Hey Guys! Do whatever you want! It can be fixed by abortion at the drop of a hat at any time up to birth, and even after birth in some cases!”
This piece actually markets it that way.
