Sorry if this feels political, Im not seeing this as a political myself. But a common theme I see with the topic of abortions is, "well she consented to sex, so she consented to pregnancy". I've never understood this, as a man, when I have sex, it is my job to avoid pregnancy risk.
My partner nor I want kids right now, and thats ok! We just arent ready.
But the arguement that it is her choice to get pregnant makes no sense? Im the one with the sperm, she doesnt get to choose to shoot out her eggs or something. Im the one who gets to choose if I pull out/wear protection or not.
Idk, this is just my take, Im tired of having to explain this to people because they cant seem to grasp it
Edit: it seems that a lot of arguements under this post is: "well she can take medicine that is known for bad side effects so its also her responsibility" like its not hard to just pull out dude. Why would I tell my wife that she should be on medication she doesn't want to be on. If I can just not cum in her?
People who say "She consented to sex, so its her responsibility too" are missing the point entirely
I think people are misunderstanding my point.
Im not saying women have zero responsibility or that pregnancy cant happen accidentally even with protection. I’m saying men often act like pregnancy is something that just “happens to women,” while ignoring the fact that men control ejaculation and contraception choices too.
If both people knowingly take a risk and an accident happens, obviously that involves both parties. But I reject the mindset that “she consented to sex, therefore pregnancy is solely her consequence to deal with” especially when men can and should take responsibility for preventing it too.
