It would be great if there was another option in the world to prevent pregnancy. We can't really predict if men would use it.

Humans obviously have their desires and passions. You know how it is...in the moment you get so focused on them that caution is thrown to the wind. Either that or one of the two humans doesn't care as long as they can satisfy their needs.

Pregnancy is often the result of impulsivity, short sightedness, immaturity, miseducation, denial, manipulation, drunkenness, rape, forgetfulness, and a plan. (I'm sure I've missed something there but you get the idea.)

Except when sex is for fulfilling a plan for pregnancy, sex keeps happening despite the fact that the outcome can be an unwanted, untenable pregnancy. Keeps happening despite all kinds of availability to prevent it. So, I'm not sure if we change the gender of the practitioner, it will change anything.

We also have a skew in the mathematics of all discussions of who practices birth control because there is only one party who ends up pregnant.

Keep abortion legal and safe.
