6. Minor correction: They only came around when they got better education on the issue, the hard way.

No accident that men have basically been kept in the dark about the list of risks in a pregnancy. TPTB, the ones who want forced birth, also want the general population to be ignorant of the many facets of pregnancies gone wrong. There is method to their methods. Let's remember, a lot of the woman who have had to face the issues of not being allowed to get the complete care they needed, were also once on the side that wants to ban abortion, until conditions arose that made medically necessary abortion happened to them.

Knowledge is important, and we feel for those who got educated on the problems that arise thru such difficult experiences. We feel for the women and the men, and are most grateful when they step out and share their personal horror stories of care denied.

I don't blame some men for coming late to this issue. They have been culturally conditioned to let the women deal with it, and that included keeping them in the dark about how the body works and what all can go dreadfully wrong. I am just grateful these men are stepping up, voicing their very private experiences, and working to get others to wake up and see just how multi-faceted medical care for women needs to be.
