Shifting the abortion conversation off of women’s bodies

Gabrielle Stanley Blair talks about irresponsible ejaculation & going viral on Twitter

I’m such a huge fan of Gabrielle Stanley Blair, founder of Design Mom, best-selling author, and creator of Alt Summit. Her 2018 tweet on abortion shifts the conversation off of women’s bodies and onto a source of unwanted pregnancies that is shockingly absent from abortion debates—irresponsible ejaculation. The thread is packed with facts about fertility, orgasms, and birth control for BOTH men and women. Read it all. Whether you agree or not, Gabrielle raises so many interesting points that I hadn’t thought of before in exactly the same way.

We also talk about the luck, timing, and privilege, and how she made a career for herself out of blogging about the intersection of motherhood and design. Gabrielle is such a good storyteller! I loved our chat. Thanks, Gabrielle!
