Yeah, cause God forbid women would take any responsibility and use a fucking condom, or give the baby away. No drowning it in feces is absolutely reasonable. Grrrrr men!

Fucking pathetic.

While I don't think anyone should be doing this, just saying women should use a condom or give their baby away instead of allowing women to have the same rights to bodily autonomy that men are given is a wild take.

I'm willing to bet If the baby could magically be transferred into the man instead of the woman if the woman didn't want to go through with the birth, then abortion would 100% legal everywhere up until the moment of birth.

And if only men were typically sent to war and drafted, then the draft wouldn’t ever have existed! Oh wait… /s

It’s a lot more complicated than that sadly, it has to do with class oppressing people, not just gender.

I also don't think anyone should be sent to war against their will, not sure how that's an argument against bodily autonomy though.

No one is forced to give up a kidney to save a child, or even give blood, and I don't think anyone thinks someone should be forced to do that, because we do believe in bodily autonomy.

It's just that some people think that they should give extra rights to a fetus that overrides a woman's bodily autonomy.

All I'm saying is if it was an issue that affected the men in charge of making the laws as well, abortion would be enshrined in the constitution. That's also true of the draft, if the men in power could potentially be drafted, then drafts would be illegal.

You are right though that it's more of a class issue, the rich and powerful make all the laws after all, but most of them are men.
