A statement by U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, has ignited the pro-life critique that sex without responsibility is a problem, indicative of how legal abortions are used to exploit women. Buttigieg’s claim during an online fundraising event that men are freer in a country where access to abortion care is intact was quickly refuted by pro-life advocates.<\/p>\n
Ashley McGuire, senior fellow with The Catholic Association, said that Buttigieg is validating what pro-life groups have always known about abortion. It gives men the freedom to exploit women, leading to a domination disguised as freedom.<\/p>\n
Similarly, Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee, called Buttigieg’s comments “creepy and disgusting,” arguing that men should accept the responsibility that comes with creating a new life rather than pushing women into abortions to evade responsibility.<\/p>\n
Emily Davis, Vice President of Communications for the Charlotte Lozier Institute, a pro-life organization, shared her personal experience of how she had been pressured to have an abortion, emphasizing the experience of many women who suffer coercion into unwanted abortions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
