i dunno i value protection; even when i was in undergrad and working a job during the school year and 2 during the summers it was essential to have them. either way i think we are in tune they should be readily available and we just disagree on free vs very affordable.
bold; i agree that this is stupid. another dumb way to divide the sexes when they just want safe sex
At first I took the abortion debate as genuinely being about the "life begins at conception".
I only dropped this understanding for the "controlling women's bodies" narrative when this kind of thing just kept piling up.
You won't find a pro-lifer being against in-vitro fertilization, even though they would be considered death camps under the pro-life ideology, you won't see them advocating for access to birth control, you don't see them actually pushing pro-family policies, etc. etc.
Yeah, there's the rare one-off, but the movement as a whole is not pro life, pro family, or whatever pro they want to make it. There's just too much evidence that the core of the movement is not about what they say it is, and all the rhetoric and policy says it's about control.
