Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says 'we need men to be speaking up' about abortion rights

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is stepping into her power — but she doesn't want to do it alone.

In a profile for GQ's October issue, the political powerhouse implores men to speak out against what she views is a war against bodily autonomy following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.

After all, she explains, abortions affect men, too.

"For almost every woman that has gotten an abortion, there's a man who has either been affected or liberated by that abortion too," she explained. "In this moment it's really only going to be the vulnerability of men, and men talking to other men, that gives us the greatest hope of shifting things the fastest, soonest."

No matter what forced birthers say, my response is always "It ain't your business."

It really need not go any further than that.

The image is a raised fist, and the slogan is "Her Body - Her Choice"

He gets good reactions, but we live in a very blue bubble. It probably makes more of an impact when we travel outside of our city.
