221. its called abortion

"There is no way for a woman to walk away from an unwanted pregnancy."

you're right, biology is a double standard, and that's why the woman should have absolute control over her body, because we are defending the value of bodily sovereignty (which is one rationale for abortion rights).

the other main rationale is that one should not be forced to be a parent. That has nothing to do with biology but rather legal duty. and that there is no reason (if feminism is REALLY about gender equality, which I doubt sometimes) to aboslutely impose it on either gender.
