Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s comments on abortion have sparked an online response from people who say he’s defending irresponsible men who don’t want to be fathers.
“Men are more free when women have access to abortions,” he said.
Buttigieg’s comments on abortion ignited a fiery online debate. Many users criticized his perspective, claiming that men benefit from a society where abortion is legal and accessible. They argued that abortion primarily serves men by allowing them to engage in sexual relationships without facing the potential consequences of parenthood.
The discussion also explored the broader implications of abortion, such as its emotional and physical toll on women and the ethical considerations of terminating a pregnancy. Some interpreted Buttigieg’s remarks as a frank acknowledgment of the perceived benefits for men, while others condemned his views as insensitive and dismissive of the complexities surrounding reproductive decisions.
“Pete Buttigieg says that men are freer when abortion is legal because men can have consequence free sex and simply kill their unborn babies instead of taking responsibility for them. But J.D. Vance is weird or something,” said conservative Greg Price.
Writer Mollie Hemingway chimed in: ““Kill all them babies so men can be free” is a hell of a decline for Mayor Pete.”
And Abby Johnson added: “Children shouldn’t have to die just so men can use a woman’s body for pleasure with no consequence. That’s a disgusting concept.”
