Thank you Sue. It feels like the responsibility and liability of men remains nearly invisible. The need to make them front and center - sex and the outcome is called 'women's health' as if birth control is some happy easy thing that all women at all times have access too and decide not to use. I suggest to Jim (below ) that men start telling their own stories and promote birth control for men starting at puberty. Of course the school are not supposed to mention bodies, and what we can do with them besides throw a football. Anyway... men have to speak out and remind everyone that pregnancies happen because men do not take responsibility and women end economically in the slow lane because the men involved are absent on all fronts. The fundamentalists of all religious persuasions have never held a man accountable. Be it for a pregnancy, and only recently and barely for rape, child support, and on and on.
Sue, well said... thanks for sharing. Now how do we get your story in front of folks who need to understand? How can I help accomplish this shared goal and imperative need????
