Like I said, I don't say "abortion should be rare" personally. I don't debate abortion at all as a rule, it's not my choice to make.
But logically, I do agree with the statement in a vacuum, since I believe that unplanned pregnancy should be rare (adjective - 1. (of an event, situation, or condition) not occurring very often. "a rare genetic disorder" synonyms: infrequent, scarce, sparse, few and far between, thin on the ground, like gold dust, as scarce as hen's teeth) and consequently abortions, available with no restrictions whatsoever, should be less common.
Please help me to understand how this is a patriarchal and/or misogynistic opinion to have. I literally cannot understand in the slightest how reducing "oopsies" and, purely consequentially to that, abortions, is an objectionable societal goal.
