An opinion piece published by WBUR, Boston’s NPR news station, argues that abortion is beneficial to men who want to pursue their career goals while leading a promiscuous sex life.
The article, entitled “Men like me benefit from safe abortion access,” is written by political commentator and activist Kaivan Shroff. He claims having a baby would derail his career plans in the piece:
It would be a terrible time to have a baby. Don’t get me wrong — I’ve always wanted to have kids. I love the relationship I have with my parents and can’t imagine not getting to experience fatherhood. I think I’d be good at it. That said, I’m not in a relationship. I haven’t built a nest egg. And, frankly, after two years of a global pandemic, I want to eke out and enjoy every last minute of my 20s. In too many ways, I’m unsettled.
…
We often talk about the ways access to birth control and safe abortion empowers women. And it does: I believe that access to safe abortion is a basic human right. On a human and policy level, it’s infuriating to watch a partisan Supreme Court erode and threaten to eliminate that right. Women’s bodily autonomy should not be up for debate. But men like me have also long been the direct beneficiaries of safe abortion access. Giving women the choice not to carry unwanted pregnancies often means we, too, can delay parenthood until we are ready.
Since I’ve spent 10 of the past 11 years as a student, most of the women I’ve had sex with were also students, also progressive, and also not at a point in their lives where they were looking or ready to have children. I try to share responsibility for birth control and if a woman tells me she’s on it, I also trust that. If she still got pregnant, however, though entirely her decision, I assume we would both want the same thing: an abortion. In longer-term relationships, we’ve had explicit discussions about this.
…
What if I got a woman pregnant? What if she didn’t want to continue the pregnancy, but could not get an abortion? Would we try to stay together, even if it wasn’t a fit? What kind of custody or visitation rights would I get if we weren’t together? How would I provide for the child? Would adoption really be a consideration, as Justice Amy Coney Barrett recently glibly suggested? If so, would the child face an abusive welfare system? The questions and worries abound.

Any abortion supporter: whether it has been the mother/father, or vocal support, or voter, or doctor/assistant in the surgery room, or just a volunteer worker in the clinic will be held accountable for the death of the innocent life by God on Judgment Day unless they have confessed their sin and asked for forgiveness.
No one is so good that they do not need God’s forgiveness; and no one is so bad that they cannot have God’s forgiveness.
This is a colossal issue only because of the money. Abortion is not the business of government and when it was outlawed, tragedy struck all over the nation. With Roe-Wade came taxpayer funding that was bitterly resented by many conservatives. The issue has been simmering for half a century and one fact has not been considered.
It’s a private matter between obstetrician and patient.
Nobody has a problem with federal funding for pre-natal medical services to impoverished expectant women. The hostility arises when anti-abortion persons are required to share in the costs for acts they abhor. It’s especially explosive when clinics allow abortions any moment before birth or late term without medical rationale.
Duh, and these irresponsible whores don’t care.
Apparently promiscuous women also “benefit” from abortion. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so freely used as a convenient method of contraception after the fact.
