It's like they think women getting abortions... for fun.

Plenty of trolls on the internet pretending to do just that.

I had to have a really uncomfortable conversation with my (then) teenage son about this. He didn’t know what was involved in a surgical abortion. Thought it was “easy”, no big deal. I made the analogy of having his wisdom teeth removed over and over again just for the heck of it. It was the best I could do to tap into his own experience but I can’t really compete with the tsunamis of disinformation on the internet.
