This slim volume expands on the viral Twitter thread Gabrielle wrote a few years ago. A “Mormon mother of six” whose design commentary was one of the first “mom blogs,” she drew attention by posting the thread, which went viral again after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

I listened to Gabrielle narrate the audiobook (thanks @hachetteaudio for the free copy). She does a great job making the litany of studies & data she uses to support her thesis interesting & eye-opening. Her exasperation with the state of things is evident too.

Now, her thesis: Men are not held accountable for causing unwanted pregnancies. And, if we really want abortions to decrease, we need to hold them accountable and have them ejaculate responsibly.

This book is a revelation. I really loved the original thread & enjoyed seeing Gabrielle’s thoughts and research expanded.

I won’t go into all the facts & truths she shares but they make sense AND are a great way to frame the debate. And, frankly, men not being held accountable—for unplanned pregnancies, for birth control, for the health risks or financial obligations associated with birth control, pregnancy, birth, etc. IS the status quo. And we should reevaluate it if we do want abortions to decrease.

If you want to read an important and refreshingly new entry into the debate about this important issue, read this book.
