Making abortion rarely desired, not just rare won't happen by leaning further into the idea that healthy human bodies are defective + dangerous. A truthful society can't requiring folks to suppress their fertility to be part of the world (which we currently expect of women).

But for everyone making fun of @HeerJeet's vasectomy proposal as absurd: this is what we *currently* expect of women.
Women are expected to suppress their own fertility, the world assumes that's possible/harmless, and when they don't the world doesn't have room for us.
