Gay men still have the right to bodily autonomy. They’ll never get pregnant and have their body hijacked for 9 months, they won’t be stopped from leaving their state for healthcare or any other reason. Saying this in the abortion climate is basically the same as saying All Lives Matter in response to people talking about Black Lives Matter. Gay men are men who are still privileged over women.
