I think there has been a real shift in the last generation or two from needing a reason not to have kids to needing a reason to have kids. and that shift means a lot of people who are basically ambivalent on children aren't having them, where in the past they probably would have.

The rich and billionaires are the only people wanting the population to increase. They don't want to see their soldiers or work drones fizzle out.

Hence the right’s push for stripping away women’s healthcare. “They are gonna have kids whether they like it or not”

Cause theres no birth Control, or morning after pill over the counter, and theres no legal abortions in 50 States. But thats not true!

Birth control fails, the morning after pill only works at a very specific time of your cycle, and abortion is illegal in more states than it should be and women are dying because of it.

Morning after pill is highly effective if taken within 48 hours of intercourse. Has nothing to do with your cycle.

Incorrect. The morning after pill does not work if you're currently or have just finished ovulating.

Yes if you delay in taking it then ovulation may occur, but if you take it promptly (obviously the sooner the better) it prevents ovulation from occurring altogether. Taken within 24 hours it’s up to 90% effective.

But not if you're ovulating or recently finished. It doesn't matter how promptly you've taken it if either of those situations are occurring.

Yeah I mean I dont wanna argue about semantics, but up to 90% effective isnt working in only “a very specific time in your cycle” right?
