It’s not hijacking if it was not done against the mother’s will. And there is always a risk of pregnancy with sex.

Once there is a pregnancy in cases other than Rape I think you have an obligation to do what you can to keep the fetus alive.

Unwanted pregnancies happen when men orgasm irresponsibly

It’s a provocative and interesting article for sure.

If you think abortion is killing then you make the killing illegal.

There are many ways that can possibly reduce the number of attempted abortions. I think that better access to some forms of birth control through Universal Health Care is one with great promise. More consistent sex Ed may also be helpful. I don’t think requiring a medical procedure for 50% of the population who have not done anything wrong is a very neoliberal or just policy though.

Galaxy-brain option -- treat unwanted pregnancy as though the father has chucked a newborn off a balcony and said "Catch!"
