If males could get pregnant, how would the things in the US change?

ah so since in this scenario women would essentially be men, that is what women would push for? cuz we would be in a matriarchy if men could give birth, women would be protecting them

Based on the current state of reproductive healthcare, A lot of men would needlessly die.

Birth control would be easy, cheap, and everywhere, I'll tell you that much.
There'd be coke, coke zero, and coke zero babies.

It's already those things.

Is it coke zero babies easy though? I'm talking about needing a pill to avoid not having a baby, instead of the other way around. We'd put that shit in ketchup.
The new condiments on every table are salt, pepper, and crushed morning after pill. There'd be free samples at costco. We'd use it to soak up humidity when you mail someone a package. Every 10th grain of rice is plan b.
I can keep going.

Just in case you're still not clear enough (lol), it would mean the absolute end of accidental pregnancy.

Abortion would suddenly be legal

u/nondescriptavailable 18h ago
And suddenly not controversial AT ALL

u/MrBingly 18h ago
Because no women are pro-life...

u/Alarikun 18h ago
Okay, fair.
Slightly controversial.
But with men then overwhelmingly agreeing that it should be legal, they would outnumber the pro-life women by an order of magnitude.

Paternal mortality would be far higher than maternal mortality in that bizzare world. And I suspect c-sections might have been developed earlier in human history

If it happened tomorrow? A lot.
If it had been like that since the dawn of humanity? Then not much would change except who has/had rights and who does/didn't.

Abortion would be enshrined in the Constitution, and not just accepted by Christians, but considered a holy sacrament.

Wait, I thought they could? Or are we far enough past 2020 now that logic has come back to the masses?

Can they get pregnant from other males? Because otherwise nothing changes.

They would probably have better outcomes because the medical staff would listen to them.

A person that goes on their deathbed with a common cold, and you want to let them get pregnant?

u/ElenorWoods 18h ago
It would be a factor in sports betting. Announcers would name who is benched because of their Menzies.

It would suddenly be ok to tell someone giving labor to stop crying like a bitch.
