Ejaculate Responsibly: A Whole New Way to Think About Abortion

Society & Culture

A short, argument-driven reframing that places responsibility for unwanted pregnancy squarely on male behavior — specifically, irresponsible ejaculation — rather than on women's bodily autonomy.

Core ideas
  • Men are fertile every day; women are fertile a few days a month — the math of who is causing unintended pregnancies is one-sided.
  • Existing contraception conversations focus overwhelmingly on women's bodies and risks while ignoring vasectomies, condoms, and male restraint.
  • The abortion debate's structure benefits from this asymmetry; flipping the frame changes what "responsibility" means.
