It is getting tiring saying “this book is a must-read” but god damnit, this book is a must-read. Important for ALL types of people to be exposed to these arguments. I especially appreciated the laundry list of things people don’t tell you can happen during pregnancy. This is a philosophy book as much as it is a tool for activists and those who care about people who can give birth.

Feeling both enraged and inspired by the arguments laid out in this book. We need to shift the conversation about abortion from women to men. As Blair points out 100% of unwanted pregnancies are the result of a man ejaculating. Highly recommend this book to women and men alike. It is not a man bashing tirade, rather a thoughtful argument on how energy and focus in the abortion debate is misguided and ineffective when we only focus on women and the act of abortion while failing to address the reason the pregnancy occurred in the first place.

Excellent reframing of the issue, carefully without judgement. A few quibbles, but necessary. Next steps for people are to read why they want to make abortion illegal - control over women and a large lower class population that has to take shit jobs to survive and prop up the oligarch class.

Read for book club

I think this different perspective is tragically needed - men should absolutely take more responsibility in unwanted pregnancies. And getting at the root of the problem instead of arguing about abortions really would reduce abortion numbers. I think some of her analogies are not the strongest, but she makes her point, and she gives us some clear action steps. I'll keep rallying for comprehensive sex ed and better access to contraceptives.
