Shock of shocks, as abortion becomes more available and more people know of it, the abortion rate increases. What he purposely didn't show was that by the present day, abortion rates in terms of abortions per 1000 women or pregnancies or whatever the metric was is back down to near pre-Roe levels. He wants you to think that the rate kept climbing and climbing, but of course that's not true as most people, given the tools, will strive to avoid abortions. That’s mainly his point.

The use of contraception has created a society that does not welcome children as the natural outcome of the sexual act.

The sexual act? Which one? I’ll avoid it.

This was one of my fave posts all day. Thanks.

It fucked my body over hardcore, but I'm still glad it exists and is available. I will never have heterosex without a condom, though. With all other practical considerations removed, it's largely because I think that spooge is one of the foulest substances on the planet and that shit isn't coming anywhere near me. I love condoms <b>so</b> much. I even use them on toys when I play with my lady friends [or when I'm pegging boys]. Years ago, I was on the pill.
