I came across this video today where an elderly woman support safe and legal abortion for women and girls and says that she knew a girl who died because of an illegal abortion and that she was scared that more women and girls are going to die from unsafe abortions if the radical Right manage to ban abortion across the board (the radical Right recently oveturned Roe v. Wade and the battle for women's right to bodily autonomy/bodily self-ownership/self-determination, for their right to choose, is far from over).
"An illegal abortion killed her classmate. Decades later, this grandmother fears more deaths
From the L.A. Times Studios: Joyce Johnstone is old enough to remember when abortions were illegal. She was a teenager in England when a fellow student died from a botched abortion. Johnstone worries if abortions are banned, other young girls could find themselves suffering the same fate.":

Someone in the comment section of the video said:
(Quote) "This very personal medical option must be available to women around the world. Coitus accidents happen, but moreover men just don't seem to care and THAT irresponsibility needs addressed on the same levels as choice." (Unquote)
To which I replied (and I don't know if Youtube deleted my reply in the comment section of that video 'cause there's more and more censorship on Youtube, but here's my reply so you can read it):
(Quote) "It's not just men who can be irresponsible, it's women too, women too can be irresponsible. So let's not blame it all on one gender shall we (let's on blame it all on men)? The woman also must take responsibility and use birth control. Women have agency and accountability too. Also, if women can say "my consent to sex is not consent to parenthood and I have the right to opt out of parenthood", then men should be given the same right.
If you can't force motherhood on a woman, you shouldn't be allowed to force fatherhood on a man. If the female gender is liberated, then the male gender must be liberated too. Otherwise, it's NOT real true equality. Either both genders can opt out of parenthood or neither can opt out, but we can't have this double standard; it's sexist, inconsistent and wrong.
Also, they say it's the woman's choice because it's in her body. Precisely, it's HER choice. He doesn't get a say in HER choice. So if she wants to keep the baby and he doesn't want it and it's HER body and HER choice and he doesn't get a say in HER choice, then she's the one who should pay for the child, because it's not okay to punish a man for a woman's choice, a choice he has no say in. It was HER choice and NOT his, so why should he have to pay? If she doesn't want to pay for the child, then she can choose to get an abortion, but she can't force HER choice on him and force him to pay child support for 18 years, just like he can't force her to get an abortion or stop her from getting an abortion.
Another option is, both parents pay child support or neither of them pay child support, but we can't have that double standard, and the idea that a man should be forced into fatherhood against his will, given no right to opt out, and having to pay for a child he didn't want, while the woman is free to opt out of parenthood and get an abortion or give up the baby for adoption, it's just wrong, because only one gender is allowed to opt out of parenthood, only one gender can have sex for pleasure, only one gender is liberated, men and boys are not given true equality with women and girls. That is NOT true quality, it's sheer misandry.
And some idiots say that if a man didn't want to have a kid then he should have kept it in his pants. If anyone said this to women, they would be called sexist and misogynist and accused of wanting to control women's bodies and punish women for engaging in sex for pleasure. So why should a man be told that unless he wants to have fatherhood forced on him against his will, he should just keep it in his pants and not have sex and just be sexually abstinent for life? The double standard is astounding. I'm an Egalitarian Anti-Feminist woman who is pro-choice and I support safe and legal abortion for women but I also support men's rights to be as liberated as woman are and to be able to opt out of parenthood just like women can opt out of parenthood. Men shouldn't be forced into parenthood or forced to pay child support any more than women are.
Also, there are men who have been statutory raped by female teachers when they were underaged boys and now the rotten system want to punish those male victims of statutory rape by forcing the male victim to pay child support for a child conceived through statutory rape when he was too young to legally consent to sex with an adult woman and they forced him to give money to his rapist and they give custody of the child to the statutory rapist mother:

Also, notice how they say he "had sex with her"... "had sex with" is a strange way to pronounce rape. He was a victim of statutory rape, Having sex and being raped is not the same thing, if there is no content, if the victim is too young to legally consent to sex with an adult, it IS rape. I wish people would change their fucking language. They defend the male victim and that's good, but they need to change their language, because "had sex with" is a strange way to pronounce rape, and people wouldn't use that type of language if the genders were reversed and if it was male on female statutory rape. People need to realize just how damaging their language can be.
Things like this IS why so many women are Egalitarian Anti-Feminists and reject the ideology of Feminism, because the Feminist cult doesn't want equality for men and boys, doesn't want men to have the equal right to opt out of parenthood just like women, are okay with male victims being forced to pay child support for a child conceived through statutory rape and money taken out of his salary to punish him for having been raped and for something he had no control over, etc, etc. That is not true equality, that is misandry, the hatred of males, denying males equal rights, equal freedom, equal liberation, etc.
Also it's disgusting that what a woman want to opt out of parenthood, she's called liberated and gets a lot of support, but when a man want to opt out of parenthood, he's vilified and dehumanized and called all kinds of vile names like "deadbeat dad" and "irresponsible fuckwad", only one gender is liberated and gets support in their liberation. The double standard is disgusting and astounding. Anyone who is truly pro-choice will be pro-choice for both genders, that is, they will support a woman's right to choose to get an abortion, but also a man's choice to opt out of parenthood just like women have the option to opt out of parenthood. If parenthood is a choice and not an obligation for the women, it should also be a choice and not an obligation for the men, men should also get that option, that equal right too.
