Who Should Have a Say on a Woman’s body? Let’s Say a Woman? A Man?


                                                                             

There’s some confusion in the public sphere regarding a very simple question: If you are a person with a uterus, who should participate in your contraception-related decisions?
Here are the options:
A) Everyone! Everyone should have a say! Particularly ancient men in elaborate cloaks! This is a democracy, damn it!
B) Two people: you and your doctor.
This sketch from the inimitable Amy Schumer gives us an idea of what option (A) looks like:


I have died.
OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS IS TOO REAL

The correct answer, of course, is (B). It is always (B). It will never not be (B). Please stop pretending otherwise.
