Ejaculate responsibly — a plan for stopping abortions

The US Supreme Court’s decision to end women’s right to abortion reminded me of this thread first posted in 2018. The thing is: Nobody wants to have an abortion, it’s an option that needs to exist. Fewer abortions is a desirable outcome. However, making it harder to get an abortion legally just isn’t a very effective way to prevent abortions. Gabrielle Blair writes: «If you want to stop abortion, you need to prevent unwanted pregnancies. And men are 100% responsible for unwanted pregnancies.» Your first reflex is to disagree? So was mine. It’s what makes reading this so valuable. (Blair has turned the thread into a book — Ejaculate Responsibly will be published in October)
