Vice President aspirant and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said this week that not only does abortion liberate women, “men are also more free in a country where we have a president who stands up for things like access to abortion care. Men are more free.”
Buttigieg, who contends that he is married to a man, is right about that. Abortion does in fact make men free. They are free from their fatherly duties, thus allowing them to prey on women—in the name of liberating them—while appearing to be on their side. It’s a dream come true.
In an article by Judith Blake in Science, published in 1971, two years before abortion was legalized in Roe v. Wade, she found that college-educated men were the strongest supporters of legal abortion. Indeed, little has changed since then.
When I taught a course on Family Relations at La Roche College in Pittsburgh, I asked my students, most of whom were nursing students, to explain why single men have always been the greatest champions of a woman’s “right to choose”? Is it because they have long been closet feminists? Or is there something else going on? The women knew exactly what was going on. Reckless men love abortion.
In a 2022 article published by Business Insider, it found that the majority of young men (and young women) were supportive of abortion rights but that older men (those over 50) were the least supportive. This makes sense. Reckless older men have less of a vested interest in abortion, but reckless younger men see it as freeing them from their responsibilities. It allows them to tell their pregnant girlfriend to find an abortion clinic and liberate themselves of their baby; ever obliging, she can even charge it to his credit card. It’s a win-win. For him.
Survey after survey shows that public support for abortion declines markedly the later into pregnancy a woman is; there is very little support for late-term abortions and partial-birth abortions. Buttigieg disagrees. His enthusiasm for abortion rights knows no limits.
On “The View,” Meghan McCain asked Buttigieg in 2020 “exactly [what] your line is” about when to draw the line on abortion. He said “it shouldn’t be up to a government official to draw the line. It should be up to the woman who’s confronted.”
McCain pressed him, asking if he was okay with infanticide. His answer was disingenuous. “Does anybody seriously think that’s what these cases are about?” She responded, “I think that people care about that, yes.”
Similarly, the year before, Chris Wallace on “Fox News,” said to Buttigieg, “So just to be clear. You’re saying that you would be okay with a woman well into her third trimester deciding to abort her pregnancy?” To which he said, “Look, these hypotethicals are usually set up in order to provoke a strong emotional….” Wallace retorted, “It’s not hypothetical. There are 6,000 women a year who get abortions in the third trimester.” He answered, “That’s right, representing less than one percent of cases.”
In other words, Buttigieg disagrees with almost everyone. He is in the tiny minority who believe abortion should be legal in virtually every instance, regardless of how late into pregnancy it is. He can’t even condemn infanticide. This explains why he is opposed to legislation that makes it illegal to provide medical care to an infant who survives an abortion. It doesn’t get more radical than this.
Notice, too, that when Wallace said that 6,000 women a year get an abortion in the third trimester that Buttigieg erased their humanity by citing a statistic. That’s the way extremists think: they don’t see the faces of women or their unborn babies—they dissolve them to a stat.
Buttigieg does not want to make abortion “safe, legal and rare.” His idea of male and female liberation is to make it as frequent as can be. He is way out there.
Why does it say only irresponsible men?
What about irresponsible women?
I guess it’s not acceptable to discuss this these days
They apparently are patently stupid . . . "Of COURSE I love you . . . . "
I’ve noticed a tendency among homosexual men to be extreme pro-abortion advocates. Since it doesn’t affect them either way, I always wonder why they are so strongly invested.
Men get more out of it.
because they’re irresponsible and predatory, too?
Not to mention irresponsible women who actually commit infanticide and murder...
Because they are saboteurs of their own lives and want to sabotage others’ lives and society in general as well.
I believe that many people vote Dem because they think having the right to an abortion is their free pass if something goes wrong with their lifestyle choices.
It is the ultimate escape from responsibility. And this selfishness is what drives them.
They would rather be able to have sex with no consequence than anything else. Its not about the right to choose. It’s about not being held responsible when the choice goes wrong.
“they” and little queeny should know.
Pimps love abortion.
Ol’ Pete must not have got the memo. When Roe was redesignated, the federal government no longer plays the abortion game. It is now left up to the individual states to decide on how they are going to handle it. So it doesn’t matter what the POTUS feels about abortion. It ain’t in the POTUS’s wheel house.
And as for making men free, this is not a topic that Pete is involved with.

Buttawhatever does not even close to speaking for any man.
Period. And the gays I know are accomplished, intelligent, and honest. Buttawhatever is none of the above. Hey butt boy, put on your fake boobs and pretend to nurse your child, who I feel very, very sorry for.
Eventually, there will be a case brought to the Supreme Court. Similar to Roe vs Wade.
It's likely that at some point Gavin Newsom will become the POTUS.
You can fill the dots.

I believe that simply means "birth control" after the fact. No?
There's also murder involved. Other than that, it's all good.
“ men are more free”
Would sure like to see someone pin bootyjig down to expand on that
Gay men should not have a say on abortion one way or the other. They have no skin in the game. So shut up secretary “booty-juice”
