Especially when the best methods to get less unwanted pregnancies (and of course abortions) are

a) sex education teaching that the best method to prevent pregnanciesis to use contraceptives

b) easy access to said contraceptives

I don't know what the Oklahomans do about this, but considering what the US government tries to do about sex education and the prevention of abortions, I don't have a very optimistic outlook about this...

I'm all for less unnecessary abortions - the situation here in Finland has gotten worse with teenagers, which isn't good, but shaming and pressuring pregnant women isn't the right way.

I'm trying to come up with some gender-switched equivalent absurdity, and failing. Mandatory prostate exams required to get a sex license?

best,
