"there's a WHOLE lot of men whose lives, careers, and families have benefited from an abortion" AOC

[IcyPeas]

This is so true. we have seen and heard women on tv telling their abortion stories.... politicians, musicians, celebrities, etc.. Let's see men coming forward too and telling us how they helped their pregnant girlfriend/friend/relative/wife have an abortion. It's nice to hear that men support women, but I'd like to hear their stories.

Let’s be real: there’s a WHOLE lot of men whose lives, careers, and families have benefited from an abortion (including several “pro-life” GOP Congressmen).

Men, we need you right now. You can get through in rooms others can’t. Your power matters. Speak up. This is about us all.

1. Of course. Why else would men be willing to pay for their mistresses' abortions?

But those men aren't likely to come forward with their stories...

2. Forced pregnancy means some women will be assaulted or killed.

Some men are not going to let an unwanted pregnancy ruin their lives.

3. Families that never would have happened

My wife and I never would have met if she had not had an abortion after an unintended pregnancy as a high school teenager. She had very irregular periods as a teenager and thought she was essentially infertile. Had a hook up with local boy and I believe her mom accompanied her to Sweden (a few years before we met in college). I assume we we never would have met and had a now >40 year marriage with 3 children, and she may never have had her career as a scientist.

4. And many wealthy, powerful men will continue to benefit from abortion. You just won't know about it

5. There's a tweet thread about this phenomenon here--

Men today don't realize how much has changed-- they can't get away with ignoring child support obligations these days.
