Good grief, are we going there? Lol. Douthat argues that forced birth is an economic “need”. It’s not a woman’s choice, it’s society’s! Let Paul Krugman decide, lol. This is the fifth, and mercifully concluding, Douthat column on abortion. The man is obsessed and is lost in the weeds.
Societies don’t have abortions; individual women have abortions. It is (or was for fifty years) a woman’s fundamental right. American society has no right to an abortion or to a birth.
