As discussions, debates and disputes about the recent reversal of Roe v. Wade rage on, the questions always seem to be about women.
Gabrielle Blair, a successful Latter-day Saint influencer known as “Design Mom,” says it’s time to shift that focus to men. After all, she argues in her soon-to-be-released book, “Ejaculate Responsibly: A Whole New Way to Think About Abortion,” 100% of unwanted pregnancies ultimately are caused by men. The issue must move away from controlling and legislating women’s bodies, she insists, and turn instead to the lack of male accountability.
Here are excerpts from The Salt Lake Tribune’s “Mormon Land” podcast in which Blair, a New York Times bestselling author and mother of six, reframes the discussion about sex, birth control, pregnancy and abortion.
What prompted you to write a 2018 Twitter thread about men and abortion?

Not bad advice, but I thought the Mormon moral doctrine was not to fornicate (in exactly those words).
Men are held accountable. They woman can file a paternity suit and the father will be ordered to pay child support.
It used to be called "holy matrimony." Now gender and sexual relations are just an ever-shifting political construct

This.
Any man with an IQ above Hunter Biden knows that if you get her pregnant, you have no rights (such as abortion, or visitation unless you fight for it) yet you can get hit with responsibility (financial). For some reason, the court says your sperm makes you responsible for a life, but since it’s inside someone else’s body, you have no rights. Why do you think population growth is sliding? Most men know you had better have a quality mate and partner before you become ‘responsible’ for a life
Yeah; you mean like in the inner-city tribal areas, with Baby Daddies, who can use their EBT's to pay? ROFL
C’mon say it, say it. Just who was this Onan fellow anyway?
....if she knows who the father is.

Or how about people stop dropping their drawers for everything that walks by.
The author is wrong. All pregnancies involve a man, but they are not caused by men. It takes two. Why does no one talk about the woman’s responsibility in the pre-pregnancy decision process?
What in Heaven's name is an "influencer"? I keep seeing that term, and it seems to be associated with skanks and with idiots who don't know their backsides from a hole in the ground.
This creature is said to be a successful influencer? How is success in this context measured?
A paid social media shill for some lefty org/union/government alphabet/corporatist industry.
We have them here pushing the frankenshots for instance.
Okay...sounds good to me.
“Not bad advice, but I thought the Mormon moral doctrine was not to fornicate (in exactly those words).”
Same here and I know there are Mormons on this site so now is the time to speak out.
This sounds like the LDS have pro choicers in the camp
I think we have some of those on FR.
“The author is wrong. All pregnancies involve a man, but they are not caused by men. It takes two. Why does no one talk about the woman’s responsibility in the pre-pregnancy decision process?”
Careful what you say! Soon the left will say that “Women can get men pregnant” or something insane like that!
Yeah ... you said that. And you’re thinking of the same crowd I’m thinking of.
i agree more men should wear rubbers.
some guys are not careful when reproducing.
To the author I say “No!”
