Shutting down Planned Parenthood would catapult women into poverty. When access to abortion and contraception is denied, low-income women suffer most.

Ok, I'm gonna be the guy that goes forth with this argument. If were talking about abortion, theres all this talk about choice and whatnot. But doesn't a woman have a choice the moment she spreads her legs? I mean, unless were talking about rape, there's no one that forced you to have sex. You could have not had sex and then you wouldn't be pregnant, simple as that. You could say that people sometimes wanna have sex out of pleasure alone, but fact is you simply cannot, even in theory, separate the act of having sex from the possibility of getting pregnant. Even contraception doesn't rule out 100% the possibility of pregnancy. The moment you decided to have sex is the moment you agreed to to partake in the activity that might potentially result in pregnancy. No one forced you to do that, it was your choice. If you 100% didn't want to get pregnant, then you shoudn't have had sex. If you say you want to have sex-which is an activity that MIGHT result in pregnancy- and then AFTERWARDS say you want abortion because(ONCE AGAIN) it's your choice, doesn't that mean you're simply a person that doesn't want to take responsibilty for her own actions? Which is contradictory because freedom of choice comes hand in hand with responsibility. It's like saying you want choice, but you don't want to be responsible for it.

And also, why shouldn't a man have any kind of say in it? Just because you carry an uterus still doesn't mean you made that child by yourself. It still takes 2 people to do that and you obviously haven't impregnated yourself. Just because women are the ones that "happen to have" an uterus doesn't mean a child is just their own doing so why should it be strictly their decision?
