If all things were the same, but it was men who fell pregnant and gave birth, abortion clinics would be so standard they’d be on every corner, like McDonald’s. In fact, it’d be a sign of status to go to one.
Male 1: “I’m just off to the abortion clinic real quick.”
Male 2: “Oh nice, King. You’ve been busy.”
Male 1 leaves.
Male 3: “He’s so cool.”
Old Tshirt/poster slogan I remember from the 1990’s

I went to a pro-choice march in my city and made a sign that said
“If men could get pregnant
You’d get abortions
With your oil change”
And I feel like that makes about the same point. Men wouldn’t tolerate carrying an unwanted pregnancy if men had to deal with pregnancy.
That’s a good quote. Maybe it was rolling around somewhere in my subconscious.
ETA: or maybe I am the cab driver mentioned in the article.
