Ah, you dated my mother in the 80s, how does it feel to be old af?
Haha, I kid. But legit, when I brought up her hypocrisy, her answer was: “Yes but people have more options now, so they shouldn’t be getting pregnant as easily.”
And then when I pointed out that only people with access have more options, not poor people, her answer was: "Okay, well, a $15 box of condoms is STILL cheaper than a $300 abortion, so you’re still wrong."i
She pulled that number out of her ass. Or it might have been what her abortion cost in the 80s, Idk.
Her “point” (if you can call it that) was that poor people should be proactively planning by using cheaper birth control methods over asking for a more expensive procedure that she doesn’t think should be available to begin with.
She completely ignores all the other factors that could come into play between someone strapped for cash choosing condoms/diaphragms/etc versus foregoing them. I also asked if home schooled girls should be made to bear the burden of pregnancy if their parents didnt teach her about safe sex, and of course the answer was “the internet exists.”
I’ve genuinely never met more frustrating people than alt-right Christians.
Bruh, apparently those are statisical anomalies that “don’t count” for some reason. As though the fact that it might be fewer women affected makes their suffering less somehow.
I don’t get it either. I’m a childfree lady by choice myself, and I don’t understand why she’s trying to set up a worse future for my niece (and nephews! I’m sure they wpuldn’t want to pay child support at a young age either!) Her logic is fucking bizarre.

And birth control methods never fail ever. Never.
Sure…
