Attend NARAL Bro-Choice bar event for a quick pick-me-up
It is already well established that “bro-choice” men have a vested interest in keeping abortion legal, as put so well by Ben Sherman at Burnt Orange Report last year when writing in fear of Texas’ sweeping pro-life legislation (which did pass, surely crimping Ben’s sleazy sex life):
Can you think of anything that kills the vibe faster than a woman fearing a back-alley abortion? Making abortion essentially inaccessible in Texas will add an anxiety to sex that will drastically undercut its joys.
And don’t be surprised if casual sex outside of relationships becomes far more difficult to come by.
It’s clear: if the Legislature basically takes away a Texas woman’s right to choose, having sex becomes… riskier for us men, who may well end up fathers well before we intend.
But aside from politicians, abortion-supporting men tend to lurk in the shadows, because isn’t that where liberal feminists told them to go? “My body, my choice,” remember?
This is becoming more problematic as time goes on, as bro-choicer Seth Millstein recently noted in the Huffington Post:
Last summer, when I was covering the protests in Texas surrounding the state’s stringent anti-abortion law, I noticed a significant demographic disparity in the crowds. While the anti-abortion side was more or less evenly split between women and men, the vast majority of pro-choice demonstrators were women.
To be sure, there were some men in the mix – the guy with the “Rick Perry Sucks” shirt stands out in my mind – and there were numerous pro-choice men fighting alongside Wendy Davis in the state legislature. But the overall gender disparity between the demonstrators on the ground was striking.
Could it be that feminist women need men after all? Yes, and not only for their bodies, but also for their money. Touché.
Hence, NARAL’s growing spate of “Men for Choice” fundraising events across the country, with ticket prices as high as $2,500.
All of these fundraising events are being held at bars, I note, a nice combination – booze and pro-choice women. As comedian Chris Rock said [warning: vulgar], “I love going to abortion rallies to pick up women, ’cause you know they’re f***ing, so you ain’t gonna find a bunch of virgins at the abortion rally.”
And you know they’re going to let you off the hook if there’s an accident. Forget about condoms even.
What an interesting turn of events – pro-abortion feminists begging men to like them.
