I kinda disagree. Patriarchal laws and social norms hurt men as well. In this case, I’m sure the men in her life were negatively affected (not to the same degree of course).
Men are the ones making the laws. And they have no idea about the biology. Take the politician from Ohio for example, who suggested that an ectopic pregnancy should be reimplanted into the uterus.
The average age in the US is near 40. There are as much women between 20-24 as there are between 60-64. When it comes down to it only about 15% of the population can get pregnant without medical science. If anything the numbers should be much more pro-forced birth, but they aren’t because empathy.
Even though you’re right, I think this sentiment minimizes the horrific things the American christian right is doing.
I keep seeing multiple variations of this comment on every single lemmy post about christian conservatives. Idk if it’s like an astroturfing thing or what, but it normalizes these kind of fascist acts. We should be shocked. We should be surprised and outraged and insulted. The minute we’re not is when it becomes normal. And we know that’s dangerous af because we’re already watching it happen.
Horrible laws written mostly by men against women. Men who will never and have never been affected by what they are prohibiting.
It’s so gross and infuriating.
This is NOT a men vs. women issue. It’s a conservatives vs. sane people issue. Joe Biden didn’t take away abortion access and Amy Coney Barrett did.

Have you SEEN an anti-abortion rally? LOTS of women.

41% of women identify as pro life according to that, and 47% of men. Much higher that I would have hoped. Either way hard to say that is all men.

If someone tried to stop me at the mall or something to take a survey I would probably scream “who sent you!? What do they want?” And run away.
