Instead of being a fundamental right, it becomes almost like an obligation. Extremist advocates and normalizers went too far.

Provided that a country is not like Poland and engaging in medieval regressivism, the debate should not be about abortion.

It should be about the thoroughly shitty positions we voluntarily put women in, in association with childbirth. From lacking support...

To moralizing about their life choices... to forcing them never to let the kids play alone if they don't want abduction by idiots or cops.

To grandstanding about mores - whether conservative or so-called feminist - instead of giving them fair, unbiased information...

If you want a rallying cry for women it should be "stop telling us what to do and start helping out with this shit instead, assholes."

As a father, can you guess how many people have moralized about my parenting? My mother, father, fiancee and her mother. All under stress.

Meanwhile, literally every day, some woman (never man) holds my fiancee up on the street to tell her something she "should" do differently.

Does this -ever- happen to me? Not once in uncounted hours of shuffling the baby around in public. Never. Not once. This is pervasive.

Outside of fundamentalists, narcissist & other predators and embedded power structures - all important enemies - men are not against women.

But there hordes of women - even and especially in liberated countries - who will stop at nothing to force their agenda on other women.

Whether that agenda cloaks itself in feminism, fundamentalism, conservatism or other "I know best"-ism, it is hostile to women's rights.
