Yeah he did.
The tell is when these anti choice folks use this kind of inflammatory rhetoric, but then don’t support the policies and programs that would mitigate unwanted pregnancies. Don’t like abortion? Okay, so support comprehensive sex education. Provide free contraception everywhere possible. Support young families with free quality education and daycare. Yet… are we even seeing any of these policies being proposed let alone passed in these red “pro life” states? If anything, they’re going in reverse. So the truth of the matter is it’s not about preserving life, it’s about preserving social hierarchies; male privilege.
Furthermore, if abortion really is akin to the Holocaust, shouldn’t we stiffen the penalties on men who impregnate women who don’t want to be impregnated? If a man has sex with a woman and impregnates her, should he spent decades in prison? Have his penis cut off? Be sentenced to death? What about a man who just ejaculates without impregnating a woman? Isn’t he committing a genocide of sperm?! The monster!
Seems a lot easier to punish a man who is fertile 24/7 than a woman who’s only fertile a few days a month. Shouldn’t young men have mandatory vasectomies until they’re in a committed relationship with someone who wants children? After all, shouldn’t preventing genocide be a top priority if indeed abortion is genocide?
Shouldn’t we go as far as we can to prevent genocide if abortion really is genocide?
