Ejaculate Responsibly: A Whole New Way to Think About Abortion

Even 81 percent of US women who don’t have insurance still manage to use birth control.

Consider the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, which was paused for ten days when a risk of blood clots was discovered. Six people out of the seven million who had received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine developed serious blood clots. One of them died. At the time, it was scary to read the headlines, though the risk of blood clot from the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is less than one in a million. In contrast, the common forms of women’s birth control come with a much higher risk of blood clots—oral contraceptives triple the risk of blood clots. According to the FDA, the risk of birth control users developing a serious blood clot is three to nine out of 10,000 each year (and 327 million people are taking hormonal birth control worldwide). Based on what we know right now, birth control is riskier than any of the COVID-19 vaccines.

Men are essentially walking around with a dangerous weapon, not a plaything. How they manage their sperm has life and death consequences.
