The Troubling Ideals at the Heart of Abortion Rights
The Atlantic Monthly ^ | January 1, 2020 | Erika Bachiochi

"But abortion restrictions do not deny sexual and reproductive autonomy to women; reality does. While pregnant, a woman is carrying a new and vulnerable human being within her. Unlike a biological father, a pregnant woman cannot just walk away; to approach the desired autonomy of the child-abandoning man, a pregnant woman must engage in a life-destroying act."

Must. What about adoption?

Many loving couples want a child because they are unselfish not like the FeminNAzis.

“to approach the desired autonomy of the child-abandoning man, “

Perhaps she should make sure she doesn’t screw a “child-abandoning man”.

“While pregnant, a woman is carrying a new and vulnerable human being within her.”

For sure she’s going to get doxxed by the feminazis for saying that a pregnant woman carries a human being within her, instead of a clump of unwanted, invasive cells.

“Unlike a biological father, a pregnant woman cannot just walk away; to approach the desired autonomy of the child-abandoning man, “

And knowing that, why wouldn’t she make absolutely sure that she wouldn’t get pregnant if she decided to irresponsibly screw around??

It would be like a single young white woman insisting on her right to go walking around at night wearing a bikini in a culturally enriched neighborhood and complaining that after she got sexually assaulted the guy just walked away.

This is nothing short of demanding for a right to be irresponsible.

Yeah even when the dad wants the kid.

They can’t make this argument when the man has zero rights as to whether the child survives or not.

Not at all.

This article puts many of the legal contradictions in abortion jurisprudence in sharp contrast.
