As UK politicians stampede to try to make abortion easier, it is worth revisiting the beginning of the abortion debate in the 1960s with no less a figure than world famous feminist Germaine Greer.
Female Fertility and controlling it is and always will be a lucrative commercial industry for many industries starting with the strip clubs, the oldest profession, the back alley butchers, the doctors, the pharmaceutical companies ( remember when the experimental contraceptive Depo Provera was tested on women in India?! ) Oh yes. Then IVF. So cool to have that kind of control as individuals and advanced civilized society. What a money maker the whole ride. And nobody noticed all the other perhaps not so beneficial changes that abortion and contraception spawned. We women simply must look in the mirror and say “we did that” and its now too late to dive back in with regret isn’t it. And the saying be careful what you wish for also applies. Because very soon men may be birthing human babies.
There's a lot of head spinning stuff going on around loving couples.
One lot makes a fortune trying to get you pregnant, allegedly, while another section is trying to prevent birth with condoms and pills and maybe even the covid jabs..
