Do we then say that men should not have the right to decline parenthood because its too expensive for society, while at same time say that women should have the right because its a fundamental liberty?

We could, but it is not a good sound bite when calling for gender equality and reproductive rights. It also sound as there is more, maybe smaller steps that we could do to minimize the difference in rights and responsibility when it comes to reproductive rights.

Yes. It's an interesting philosophical point, but there are real differences between men and women and this one is pretty straightforward.

Thank you.

So you're saying that men should shoulder more responsibility for breeding for the greater good?
